Cannot ping VboxNet0 or any guest machine

Post by FernandoEwald »

I have a MAC runniung MACos 10.13.6
Virtual box Version 5.2.18 r124319 (Qt5.6.3)

I cannot ping my MacOS vboxnet0 from my mac
I cannot ping any other guest machine from my mac
from the guest machine I can ping any other guest but cannot ping the MACOS
is there any solution?

My MacOS IP:
vboxnet0: flags=8943<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	ether 0a:00:27:00:00:00 
	inet 192.168.56.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.56.25
My linux guest:

        inet 192.168.56.18  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.56.255
        inet6 fe80::a00:27ff:fecb:4eb1  prefixlen 64  scopeid 0x20<link>

From the host, post the output of:
  • VBoxManage list hostonlyifs
    ping <guest>    <--- substitute <guest> with the actual IP
I'd like to see a VM log from a complete VM run:
  • Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe error / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
  • With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
  • Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response (see the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form).
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.
Do NOT reply with the "QUOTE" button, please use the "POST REPLY", at the bottom of the form.
If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
