When on hostonly is the address saved so that each guest will get the same address again?
If not is there someway to check which guest who has a certain ip-address?

Baf, I did a google on DHCP Host only site:www.virtualbox.org/ticket and got a few hits. This seems to be a known problem. Some fixes are already in SVN. Perhaps you can have a scan of these tickets and see if any match your symptoms.

I have googled too but I dont really have a problem I just want to have some way on the host to know which machine got which address when they are on dhcp and do this without having to do something like dyndns or such.

I do this using guestproperty parameters. I run a startup script on my guests which discovers the IP address and sets a guestproperty which I can interrogate on the host. I've done some howto posts on this.

Oh you too. But it would have been nice to find with some VBoxManage or VBoxControl stanza instead.
