Note that ping (ICMP) will not work for NAT, this is described in the user manual. So check if NAT works with another protocol, for instance http. It is also possible that your guest assigns the virtual network card which is connected to the VirtualBox NAT engine to eth1 instead of eth0. If you can only access eth1 but not eth0 in the guest then this is most likely because the udev daemon has reserved eth0 for another MAC address. Just use eth1 in this case or remove the static udev rules which were created by /lib/udev/write_net_rules -- most likely the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules Kind regards, Frank -- Dr.-Ing.
