Virtualbox bridge/host-only connection not passing through

I've tried both Bridge Adapter and Host-only Adapter options, with Promiscuous Mode 'Allow All' and Cable Connected checked, with no luck.

In the Arch VM (host is also Arch), I've enabled and started

dhcpcd@enp0s3

, but I get logs from

journalctl -u dhcpcd@enp0s3

like the following:

Starting dhcpcd on enp0s3...
enp0s3: waiting for carrier
enp0s3: carrier acquired
...
enp0s3: adding address <ipv6 address>
enp0s3: soliciting a DHCP lease
enp0s3: no IPv6 Routers available
timed out
timed out
dhcpcd exited
dhdpcd@enp0s3.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
dhcpcd@enp0s3.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'
Failed to start dhcpcd on enp0s3.

The problem appears to be with ipv6 not being supported (wasn't aware this was a limitation of virtualbox?), so I followed the instructions here - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/IPv6#With_dhcpcd up to the end of the `dhdpcd` section re: disabling ipv6, but with no luck either.

The errors in this case resulted in timing out after "soliciting a DHCP lease".

Any tips on getting the network functional in the VM would be much appreciated.
