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,
