I've configured a Internal DHCP network on a Windows 7 host using -

C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\vboxmanage" dhcpserver a
dd --netname neta --ip 192.168.59.1 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --lowerip 192.168.59
.90 --upperip 192.168.56.190 --enable

Then on each of the Linux guests they are configured as -

Guest1 - adaptper1 NAT,virtio-net,allow-all, cable connected and enabled.
Guest1 - adaptper2 Internal Network,neta,virtio-net,allow-all, cable connected and enabled.

Both guests can access the Internet.

Neither guest is picking up the DHCP server running on the host - any advice would be much appreciated.

What is the output of the following commands in the host (run it into the install directory of VirtualBox):
