I've installed VirtualBox v5.2 on a CentOS 7.4 machine, but VMs set up with bridged networking can not 'see' past the VirtualBox host machine

I hate to be the first to say "works for me", but it does! :)
I have (or have had) many VMs in Virtualbox, both Windoze and various flavors of Linux, as well as one or two other things. I always set them up as bridged and they "just" work.
Can't think of what might cause it, but you might want to look at /var/log/messages, etc., on both the guest and the host. Make sure the vbox kernel module(s) is(are) installed. I don't think the vbox tools for the client would have anything to do with this, but it won't hurt to check that they are properly installed.
Good luck!
