Yeah I encountered that problem with VBox 6.0 on a Linux host last month. I haven't looked into it because I don't know when/if I'll need the FreeDOS VM again so other stuff take priority. I finished using it to run an 8048 emulator under DOS a few months ago and I fired up FreeDOS under VBox 6.0 out of curiosity. I did a quick test though, I set the virtual NIC on the same VBox on the same host, but for a Linux guest, to PCNET Fast III instead of the usual Intel E1000. Linux worked fine with that virtual NIC. So it seems that VBox 6.0 and the packet driver don't like each other any more. You could run FreeDOS networking under the previous VBox 5.2 series, it works fine there.
