VMware - guest cannot access server on host (bridged network)

I have some guests (Linux and Windows) on a host (Win 7, VMware Workstation 10). The guests are set up to use bridged networking, which seems to work (guests get IP addresses via DHCP from a router, they have internet access, and the host can access servers that are running inside the guests.
BUT the guests can not access a server that is running on the host (although they ARE able to ping the host. The server on the host IS reachable from physical machines in the local network.

Configuration:
Host IP 192.168.0.1/16
Guest IP 192.168.0.47/16
This is accessible from host: http://192.168.0.47:4567
This works from guest: ping 192.168.0.1
This does not work from guest, but from physical machines: wget http://192.168.0.1

Can anyone figure this one out, or has any ideas what i could try?

EDIT: Is this behavior intended? libvirt documentation suggests it could be.

What is the service? Please try to disable windows filewall and please check configuration the service itself.

If I remember correct SNMP and MYSQL services by default accessible ONLY from 127.0.0.1 and you need to change the configuration file of those services to allow access from different IPs.
