To share a hosts file between Vagrant and Puppet, you can create a synced folder in your Vagrantfile that points to the location of the hosts file on your host machine. You can then use Puppet to copy the hosts file from the synced folder to the appropriate location on the guest machine. This ensures that the hosts file is kept in sync between the host and guest machines.

To enable internet access inside Vagrant, you can configure the network settings in the Vagrantfile. You can use the private network option with the DHCP setting to allow the Vagrant VM to access the internet. Make sure that your host machine has a working internet connection and that the Vagrant VM is configured to use the host machine's network. You can also check the firewall settings on the host machine to ensure that traffic is allowed to and from the Vagrant VM.
