Ok, I understood the NAT used in virtualbox and found the problem, thanks for the hint. (I was incorrectly relying on ping) The problem is that in my resolv.conf the first line was invalid, as in the upgrade bind9 got uninstalled. My resolv.conf was like $ cat /etc/resolv.conf domain ls.fi.upm.es nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver $exteranl It seems that virtualbox NAT can only use the first line of resolv.conf for dns servers, thus dns started to fail in the guests. I reinstalled my caching dns server: $ host babel.ls.fi.upm.es localhost Using domain server: Name: localhost Address: 127.0.0.1#53 babel.ls.fi.upm.es has address 138.100.12.136 and the setup wasn't working, but I figure this is because bind by default listens to local connections. Once I tried setting up a correct first nameserver line, the virtual machines are working again.
