I just tried the same using the host only network. And I seem to have
the same problems.
DHCP works, however pinging the host only leads to these arp
packets:

tcpdump on vboxnet0:

11:52:10.430519 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.56.1 tell 192.168.56.101,
length 28
11:52:10.430527 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.56.1 tell 192.168.56.101,
length 28
11:52:10.430539 ARP, Reply 192.168.56.1 is-at 0a:00:27:00:00:00 (oui
Unknown), length 28

tcpdump on eth0 of the guest
11:52:10.430216 ARP, Request who-has 192.168.56.1 tell 192.168.56.101,
length 28

A ping from the host to the guest never appears on the guest.

tcpdump on vboxnet0:

11:53:16.700236 IP 192.168.56.1 > 192.168.56.101: ICMP echo request, id
16135, seq 0, length 64

tcpdump on eth0 of the guest
... nothing ...
