If you refer to the DHCP server of my real local (physical) area
network the answer is yes.
My DHCP server works like a charm, without any doubt.

Yes, I've just tried it, but it still remain here for a lot of time:
[    4.671098] Sending DHCP requests ...
[   17.040081] ..
I guess something really strange happened to my xen hypervisor.

This is what happens running tcpdump during the above message appears
(Sending DHCP requests).

Thank you Geert, but the DHCP server, in my case is my ADSL modem router, and
it always worked for VM guest, and it actually works if I boot a
VirtualBox guest or
whatever PC is connected to the LAN.

Thank you so much,
