Hi Karoline,
Yes, link-local IP address are supported. From the VirtualBox’ point of view
these addresses are barely distinguishable from normal ones. Most probably your
problem is related to some changes in IP addresses or routing. Could it be
related to your other question, the one regarding host-only interface
ownership? Host interfaces are system-wide. This applies to vboxnet host-only
interfaces as well. If another user changes an IP address of vboxnetX interface
in VirtualBox settings, it may replace the link-local IP address the interface
had previously with that new user-configured address. When networking was
broken, did you check the addresses on both the host and the guest?
Btw, what are the platforms for the host and the guests?
Best regards,
Aleksey

I'm trying to use link-local IP addresses on my vboxnet host-only network

while the host interface is still there and also still configured properly. I
don't think the problem is inside my VM, but I'd just like to confirm with
someone who understands VirtualBox that it is not in any way forbidden (or say,
not supported) to use link-local IP addresses on vboxnet host-only network
interfaces? Could this be a problem for VirtualBox?
