Operating Systems Linux SuSE unable to ping virtualbox machine Post 302361317 by pludi on Tuesday 13th of October 2009 02:18:40 AM

You've connected the virtual machine via NAT. This means the IP headers of any packets leaving the guest are re-written to match the hosts network settings. But VirtualBox does not do any kind of reverse NAT (except for established connections), not even for packets originating from the host machine.

What I would do is create a direct connection ("Host interface"), keeping the guest in it's own subnet, and create a second IP for the host for them to communicate.
