I have not tried vbox 2.1.x, so I am not clueful, but it sounds to me like maybe the guest is either not seeing or not responding to ARP requests from the network, or the ARP replies are not getting out, so none of the other hosts (like 192.168.1.1) know what ethernet address to use for 192.168.1.50. I have no idea if the vbox driver is supposed to respond to the ARP requests, or pass them through to the guest, or if the host is somehow supposed to do proxy ARP... or maybe this problem has nothing to do with ARP at all. I presume everything has the netmask set to /24, so it is not a routing issue.
