From the guest machine I could access the internet and access the host machine, but I could not ping or access the guest machine from the host. Turns out there is a network setting that needs to be changed.
On the guests 'container' go to Devices > Network Adapters
Then change 'Attached to' from 'NAT' to 'Bridged Adapter'
at that point you should be good to go

Thanks for your post. I was having the same problem between a Win 7 Pro host and a Win 8 Customer Preview guest and solved it using your method.
The only extra thing I had to do was change the guest network setting from a public network to private and now I can ping both ways.
I did that, they are in the same network but I can't ping from either side, What do I have to do? the other comments says to change the setting from public to private HOW?
