I used Puphpet.com to deploy a local Ubuntu 16.04 LAMP development machine with VirtualBox 5.1.24. I updated /etc/hosts with the VM IP address (192.168.56.101).
$ cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 flippy
192.168.56.101 dev.mysite.com
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
I can SSH into the VM, but I cannot access it via IP address (192.168.56.101) nor domain name.
Ping fails:
$ ping 192.168.56.101
PING 192.168.56.101 (192.168.56.101) 56(84) bytes of data.

Additionally netstat -rn
on host machine does not show a rout for the VM IP address:
$ netstat -rn

What else can I check?
