Why do you need to ping it?

Because all my websites are in virtualbox. For each webapp i have virtualbox box ip in my /etc/hosts file. After update virtualbox don't respond to http requests.

So your actual problem is that you can't access your webservers? Please update your topic title to reflect this. Please also clarify what OS the host and client(s) are using.

Also, as a sanity check, can you make sure the webservers are actually running? e.g.

systemctl status nginx.service

Software inside virtualbox is working properly.  Primary problem is that i can't ping virtualbox ip from host and as consequence of this any network service on it (webserver, database) is also unavailable from host. I am not an expert in networking so maybe there is something else. Host in which i run virtualbox is archlinux and os inside virtualbox is ubuntu 16.04.

Re: [SOLVED] Can not ping virtualbox box after latest update (5.1.24-1)

I had the same issue this morning. Checking the networks I found that the vboxnet0 interface was down:

$ ip link show dev vboxnet0      
4: vboxnet0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000                                      
    link/ether 0a:00:27:00:00:00 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 

Not sure about the cause or what would fix it permanently but was able to get the interface up:

$ sudo ip link set dev vboxnet0 up

It's working now. Hope this helps.

Downgraded to 5.1.22-5 and it works again.

pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/virtualbox-5.1.22-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz /var/cache/pacman/pkg/virtualbox-host-dkms-5.1.22-5-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

With 5.1.24-1, for me vboxnet0 disappeared completely:

[root@ninipad nini]# ip link list
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: wlp3s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether da:b9:74:5d:67:e1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: enp0s25: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
