Below is what I have:
1. 2 RHEL guest vms A and B.
2. Host is on Windows 7 64 bit.
3. Installed Tomcat on guest VM A, and the site is accessible through wget on port 8085.
4. used bridged network for two VMs.
5. run wget on VM A and able to obtain the index.html file.
6. failed to obtain the index.html file on VM B through "wget".
error message: "failed: No route to host".
7. able to ssh from VM A to VM B and vice versa.
8. version of Virtual Box is 4.3.22.

Tried all kinds of network configuration suggestions on various forums, no one worked.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

issue resolved. solution: disabled firewall on the guest VM, or you can add rules to allow the specified ports go through.
