| Jan 23, 2022 at 16:41 | comment | added | Setririon | That actually works. Setup with resolvconf the change even persists after restart. I wonder why this issue only occurred in WLAN. Maybe my repeater does work as a DNS server, but the main router does not? | |
| Jan 23, 2022 at 16:40 | comment | added | anon | If you are using a Bridged connection, any DNS issue has to affect the host as well. In a NAT connection, a DNS issue may be a problem with the VBOX DHCP server - reset VBOX NAT networking. | |

192.168.0.1 is your local router. It may not be configured as a DNS server.

| Jan 23, 2022 at 16:10 | comment | added | Setririon | going through the steps of figuring out what exactly is broken, it seems like my DNS server (192.168.0.1) exists and can be reached (pinged), but does not respond correctly to 'dig'. | |

Sure, try to add a line in /etc/resolv.conf with nameserver 1.1.1.1, tell me if it helps ?

| Jan 23, 2022 at 15:55 | comment | added | Setririon | yeah, pinging google.com fails with a 'Temporary failure in name resolution'. which does sound like an DNS issue | |
| Jan 23, 2022 at 15:48 | comment | added | vinalti | Do you have an error when pinging google.com ? If yes, please publish it, that'll help | |
| Jan 23, 2022 at 15:44 | comment | added | Setririon | It does mention a nameserver and even claims to have an uplink DNS server currently in use (when checking 'resolvectl status'). So I think guest-side this looks OK. And host-side there is a regular IP-address and this seems to fall into case 2 of John's answer, so that should be fine too, right? | |
