I created an Ubuntu-16.04 VM via VirtualBox on my osx machine. I'm using 2 network adapters: Bridged Adapter [en0: Wi-Fi (Airport)]
and Host-only Adapter (vboxnet0)
.
This is the ifconfig o/p from the 2 machines, osx first:

I'm unable to ping osx from ubuntu:
$ ping 192.168.1.5
PING 192.168.1.5 (192.168.1.5) 56(84) bytes of data.
^C
--- 192.168.1.5 ping statistics ---
480 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 490401ms
But I can ping ubuntu (guest) from osx. How can I fix this?
Note: Firewall is disabled on both the machines
I just ran tcpdumps on both the machines and this is the output from the Guest (Ubuntu):

This means that the Host is indeed receiving ping requests from the guest but isn't responding to them?
