(ping/icmp does work though). But soon as I switch the network to 'NAT' (and restart the vm), the wget command succeeds and retrieves the web page as expected. Setting the network to 'NAT' has an  issue of it's own though, as I seem to be unable to ssh into the vm. Im not sure if these issues are related or if they are seperate.

Please start by disabling both checksum and segmentation offloading in the guest (‘ethtool -K’ is the way to go).

Enabling the packet tracing feature may shed some light on the issue. Here is how to do it: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Network_tips
