Also, are you comfortable with the IP settings? Do you need help to make sure you picked the correct IP, subnet mask?

If you really want to use Host-Only networks, you need two separate VM network interfaces in the host OS, one for each VM.
As ITG-JM said, there are better options. The one you probably need is an internal network. If you want to include the host OS in the network, then go for bridged. (note, all these are VBox terms)
