I have not had any problems on real hardware, just these virtual machines.
Ive tried with chain/imgfetch/modlue (no script, just commandline).

KVM on the other hand is working as it should (network setting is NAT).

Any ideas?

The most recent commit (http://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git/commitdiff/0c5e3df) may have fixed this issue, if you're using an emulated Intel NIC.
