Host only adapter virtual box

My host is arch linux. And i have the same arch linux as guest. Host only adapter and nat connections are used. In host adapter settings manual assignment of ip is done for the guests.

From the guest i can access the host but from the host i cannot access the guest.

Solution 1:

Puzzling question, until I noticed a small detail in the interface statistics of the guest:

3: enp0s8: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000

The interface is down! And the ping from the guest to the host works, because the NAT interface is used for that task...
