[vbox-dev] Ownership of host-only network interfaces and DHCP servers

Hallo Karoline,

I use IPv6 within vbox and don't have any problems.
The link locale adresses are not for communication between
usual networks and you must make shure that an advertisement
daemon is running on the host.

My host is working with Linux and the VM I have tested are
other Linux systems as well as windows XP and windows 7
On the host I use tap device or an unused interface

regards,

Jean-Jacques
