On the provided hackthebox virtual machine I have successfully ping fb.com but when wget fb.com shows the connection failed again. I am a newbie hope you can answer.
Or is the hackthebox virtual machine providing access only to the labs that the server allows?

Ping and wget aren’t really very effective for testing network connectivity, but if ping worked, then there has to be some way for the packets to get through.
Run traceroute and see what it says - that will give you a better idea of what is going on.
If wget is failing it could be lots of reasons - for example, the remote site might refuse requests from wget based on UA string. It’s worth checking any error messages or response codes (curl -v is useful if you want to test web response on a remote server).
If you are asking about pwnbox - then yes, it does allow internet connectivity. You can test this by opening a browser and going to google for example.
If you mean the server you are attacking, then no, it won’t have internet access so I’d be interested to see what you got back from pinging fb.com there.
