I have Windows Server 2008 host and installed Debian guest on it using Virtualbox but I can't ping from host to guest nor guest to host. I have static IP on both host (192.168.1.1) and guest (192.168.1.2)
Thanks,
Jassim

Change the Network adapter to Bridge Adapter. In the name field choose your Network like eth0 or Wlan...
This should work...
Change firewall setting if they allows ping..
if working please mark your thread as solved as it may help somebody else.
