When you use NAT mode, you will never ping the virtual machine from the host machine because it is the NAT restriction. But when you use the bridged mode, you should be able to ping the virtual machine because it will create a direct path as if both of the machine directly connected. If the ping is fail, perhaps there is some program or application that are blocking the network like a firewall.
