Hi Tony!

I currently have a running vbox vm with bridged adapter,
i have no special host-only things either.

My vm can reach each used ip on the local net.
Maybe you hav to look elsewhere, ping, traceroute, route, ipfilter,.

ipadm show-if
IFNAME     STATE    CURRENT      PERSISTENT
lo0        ok       -m-v------46 ---
e1000g4    ok       bm--------46 ---

$ ipadm show-addr
ADDROBJ           TYPE     STATE        ADDR
lo0/v4            static   ok           127.0.0.1/8
e1000g4/_b        dhcp     ok           192.168.2.63/24
lo0/v6            static   ok           ::1/128
e1000g4/_a        addrconf ok fe80::a64c:c8ff:fe79:c2f2/10
