virtualbox.org

Hello

I use Virtualbox version 4.2.18
I have a Windows 7 Host
I have created 3 Linux RHEL guests in mode "host-only"

From a guest I can ping another guest, I can connect through ssh to another guest ;
but when I try to telnet from a guest to another guest it says :

#telnet 192.168.56.111
Trying 192.168.56.111...
telnet: connect to address 192.168.56.111: No route to host
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host

any suggestion on where to look at, is welcome

thanks
Sebastien

First thing that comes to mind is firewall.

No route to host means exact what it says : the computer doesn't have any route to that network. This is a network configuration issue, and most likely not a Virtualbox one.
Make sure you keep your guests in DHCP mode if you don't know what you are doing, and then try to ping their IPs.

If you are 100% confident that your network setup is right, please attach the guest settings of each VM as explained here as a zip and provide the following infos

On the guests : On the host, from the Virtualbox installation directory :

Thanks a lot to noteirak and Perryg for your help

I followed the lead of the "firewall" as suggested by Perryg.
I disabled the firewall by doing "iptables -F"
and after that it worked

Thanks again

I have the same problem. I have two linux guest on windows host. The linux guest can ssh each other, and also ping - but doing telnet IP address port says no route to host. In the firewall - internal - port - i have allowed 1521 ( the DB port, db is running on the other vm). This I have set in both the VM's still - i get the same error
$ telnet 192.168.190.200 1521
Trying 192.168.190.200...
telnet: connect to address 192.168.190.200: No route to host
