Since you are trying to connect via Wifi in the second subnet and via a
wired connection in the first one, I would tetnd to think that this is an
existing issue with VirtualBox, viz, networking with Wireless.

Do you think you can try wired connection in your second network as well and
see if you get the same issue.
