How come I can ping back and forth between host and guest using VirtualBox, but I can't access from the host the web server installed in the guest. I'm using a host-only network.

Host Ubuntu 10.10 
vboxnet0 - 192.168.56.1
ping to self, works
ping to guest, works
access to web server in guest, FAILS

Guest Fedora 13
eth1 - 192.168.56.101
ping to self, works
ping to host, works
access to web server in host, works
