[SOLVED] Please Help, Host-only networking not working..

I just upgrade VirtualBox-OSE 2.1 to VirtualBox 2.2.2 on my Ubuntu Jaunty Host.
I have a guest VM on Mikrotik (FreeBSD) and If I set network adapter to Bridge, Host and Guest can communicate each other as long as I plug my physical network interface to physical switch. Communication lost when cable is unplugged.
I need to maintain communication even if cable is unpluged, so I try to change adapter on Guest to use Host-only however It doesn't work at all, I can't ping or ssh from host to guest and viceversa. I use static IP, and here is my configuration :

Host (Ubuntu Jaunty)
IP : 192.168.10.2
netmask : 255.255.255.0
gateway : 192.168.10.3

Host-only Adapter (vboxnet0)
IP : 192.168.10.3
netmask : 255.255.255.0
DHCP : Disable

Guest (Mikrotik)
IP : 192.168.10.224
netmask : 255.255.0.0
gateway : 192.168.10.3

Hope someone could share some experience on how to get it work.

Problem solved, it was firewall blocking it.
