 In order to use WGET through a proxy server, the environment variable HTTP_PROXY needs to be set.

 export http_proxy=http://proxy.example.com:8080

 Then, run wget with the --proxy option.
 Wget --proxy http://site_to_Retrieve




 Make Networking Easier with /etc/hosts
 Remembering IP addresses is a pain; we’d much rather use machine names. Fortunately, we don’t need to bother with a DNS server, since /etc/hosts makes this trivial. Just edit the file (as root) adding lines like the following:
 192.168.56.101    myserver1
 192.168.56.102    myserver2
 … and so on. You can do this on the host as well as on the guests. This makes it really simple to access any machine on the host-only network. Now you can just do something like ssh myserver1 instead of ssh 192.168.56.101.
