I just upgraded my mac pro to mojave and reinstalled the latest VirtualBox 5.2.22. Then I created a host only network vboxnet0, but I alway get request timeout error when I ping the ip of this network. Is this a known issue? Below is the info of this net work.

Can you explain that? What do you ping? Here's my info for comparison:
$ ifconfig
...

Interesting... What happens if you uninstall VirtualBox? Does vboxnet0 go away? And if you reinstall VirtualBox?

Re-create the HostOnly network. Post the output of:
VBoxManage list hostonlyifs
And post the zipped "~/Library/VirtualBox/VirtualBox.xml".

When I start VirtualBox (the first time after reinstall) and went to Host Network Manager page, the vboxnet0 appeared automatically. Below is the output you requested:

1) Can you ping it now?
2) I edited my message and you must have missed the request for the VirtualBox.xml file.

When opening network preferences of VBox I see no 'host only' tab.

It did work (vboxnet0 host only) on my MBP with Mojave 14.1, but an install of a weird Android emulator which installed an old VirtualBox version 5.0.4 replacing my existing 5.2.22 installation without consent.
So I removed that crappy Android emulator and VB 5.04, rebooted and reinstalled 5.2.22 with the Extension Pack, but the vboxnet0 is gone and I have no way to restore it.
How can I get vboxnet0 back ?

You're looking at the wrong place. The Host-Only network is in the toolbar » Global Tools » downwards arrow » Host Network Manager.

So, it's best to search first then, before hijacking, no?
