that now?

In this kind of setup you will need two NICs in the host for this to work. One NIC used by the guest, the other by the host. If you have more than one guest and wants the guests to be able to talk to each other then you basically need one NIC per guest.

Just being connected to a switch does not help as switched (and even hubs) does not bounce packets back on the same port they came from.
