The new behaviour that I am positing is that in 2.1.4, VBox gave the guest it's end of the NAT connection as the IP address of the DNS server. Antonio is reporting that in 2.2.2 VB is just passing along what ever address is listed in the Host's resolv.conf as the guest's DNS server. Right now in my Windows XP guest I have: IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.2.15 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . : 10.0.2.3 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.2.3 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . : 10.0.2.3 That looks to me like VB is _proxying_ DNS, not simply forwarding it. But as Vasily says, it would seem that the problem is that in trying to proxy, it would seem that VB can't handle using an IPv6 DNS server and forming an IPv6 name query, in order to perform the proxying. b.
