Arch Linux on VirtualBox network problems

Question

I've installed ArchLinux with VB on MacOS. I have network problems, I cannot resolve addresses. When trying pacman -S htop for example I get the following error :

:: Retrieving packages from extra... error: failed retrieving file 'htop-1.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz' from mir1.archlinux.fr : Could not resolve host: mir1.archlinux.fr; Name or service not known warning: failed to retrieve some files from extra

error: failed to commit transaction (download library error)
Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

If I ping mir1.archlinux.fr I get a response. I'm running Network in Nat Mode.

PS: If I run In Bridge Mode I have no problems.

Can someone help me fixing this problem?

Answer 1

Nevermind... disabling ipv6 fixed the problem.!

Check your /etc/resolve.conf or even change for opendns/google DNS. Then check any domain like:

dig http://stackoverflow.com

finally:

pacman -Syu
