Okay, we're driving into the weeds now. You asked me to do this:

If ICS is still enabled on the host disable it.
Also any firewall rules you may have created let's remove them as well.
After that reboot the host and provide the following.
ipconfig /all from the host.
route print from the host.
ipconfig /all from a guest
That's what I did. I didn't delete anything. I didn't add it again.
When I posted the leadoff for this thread, all I'd done was install Host-only and then start the Guest. All that has changed since then was to change Host-only from 192.168.19.1 to 192.168.56.1. Everything else: bogus network adapter, tunnel, etc., is what VBox Mgr. did. I mention this only in response to your comment that "...we need to undo some things you may have done..." I'm trying to carefully control things so that I know what I did and what VBox Mgr. did.
