Can't connect to on Linux guest from Windows via host-only network

Description
I have an Ubuntu VM that runs a MySQL server among other things. I connect to it from different host systems - macOS, Windows.
For some unknown reason the host system can no longer connect to the server (mysql says "connection refused"). I'm connecting through a host-only network via 192.168.56.101. I can ping this IP address without problems.
I have no idea why it stopped working. I did not change any configuration. Deleting and re-creating the host-only network doesn't solve the issue.
I'm not a networking expert, I have no knowledge of debugging this sort of issues. I was hoping that you could fix this bug.

That's what the forums are for. Or your favorite search engine. But definitely not a ticket!
What makes you think it's a VirtualBox problem?
Is mysql running? Is it listening on the right port, on the right address? If it is, do you have connection problems only from the host or from other machines as well (it's not clear from the description).
Sorry, but we don't have resources to help people debug random configuration problems.
