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.
