Just to make it clear: the extra address 192.168.200.222 is used by a
jail, but even removing such alias (and therefore leaving only the
192.168.200.101 address) the networki is not going.
A traceroute to any ip address does not show up anything, neither the
vbox interface (that is the default gateway).
Moreover, ip forwarding on the host machine should be off, and nothing
changes in enabling it or not.

I'm going to test it with another installation from scratch to see if
I'm missing something. In the meantime, any idea?

Thanks,
Luca
