It's a variable read in /rc/bin/cpurc. You can check that script and see how it can be set so that networking is a little better.

Something has to answer a DHCP request from your guest. Can you run dhcpd on the host? > 2.

But the halt may not be working. Possibly the API has changed -- not sure. ron
