VirtualBox 4.2.18

I can ping Host and other machines in host's network from ubuntu guest using hostnames. But, I can only ping the guest machine using IP address from host and network machines. I have avahi-daemon running on Guest OS.
I want to be able to ping/ssh the guest machine from host and other machines on network using hostname of the guest machine. Please help.
