can't ping google from centos vm - centos

Question

Recently installed centos virtual machine (vm player) in my windows 7 host.
I can ping my vm from internal network without any problem.
I can also reach internal network from my vm without issues.
But my vm cant access internet, I can't ping google for example or any other external network.
I tried several solutions, I spent more than a week trying to figure out what's the issue.
Configuration:
My VM is bridged and working in DHCP mode:
[root#localhost ~]# ifconfig

What else? I can yum also!
But I can't connect to internet!
Thanks in advance for your help.

Try to ping to your nameserver ip addresses and try to ping to your gateway address. Disable the search... line in your resolv.conf
