Cannot ping external hosts using IPv6 ip addresses but can ping using IPv4 ip addresses

Hello,

 

I have Workstation Player 15 installed on a host running Centos 8 and it has 1 vm running Centos 8 also. The VM has 2 virtual network adapters in auto-bridge mode and working. The strange problem I have is from within the vm I can only ping an external host like google.com using it's ipv4 address and not it's hostname (google.com) or it's ipv6 address. Tested it with several sites and noticed the same behavior.

As if that wasn't odd enough, nslookup resolves all external hostnames correctly!

 

Can someone please help me understand what's going on?

 

Thanks,

SR
