Vagrant: Error: Could not resolve host: (nil); Host not found

Question

I am getting "Could not resolve host" error while trying to create a vm using vagrant and VirtualBox. I followed the instruction from http://docs.vagrantup.com/v2/getting-started/

Executed the below 2 commands

1. vagrant init hashicorp/precise32

2. vagrant up

Below is the error message.

C:\Users\xyz123>vagrant up Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider... ==> default: Box 'ubuntu/trusty32' could not be found. Attempting to find and in stall... default: Box Provider: virtualbox default: Box Version: >= 0 The box 'ubuntu/trusty32' could not be found or could not be accessed in the remote catalog. If this is a private box on HashiCorp's Atlas, please verify you're logged in via vagrant login. Also, please double-check the name. The expanded URL and error message are shown below:

Setting up the proxy command worked for me

export https_proxy=http://username:password@proxy_ip:proxy_port

Then

$ vagrant up
