Comment (by AGMS):
I've tracked it down to hrev52708 being broken, and hrev52707 working.
That's the one where the new FreeBSD 12 networking stack and Intel
iPro/1000 drivers were added.
It happens in VirtualBox running under both Fedora Linux and Windows 10.
All Intel emulated network cards are affected, and virtio-net too
(pleasantly surprised to see it recognised by Haiku). However, the
"PCnet-PCI II (Am79C970A)" emulation does work properly (no Host
Unreachable problems). "PCnet-FAST III (Am79C973)" seems to work but
Haiku freezes up after a while.
So, switch to the PCnet-PCI card and things work. Or use the faster (I
assume) virtio-net and put up with your host computer's TCP stack being
put out of action.
