just a guess:

If you using the nic_bridge, make sure that the MAC addresses generated
by and assigned by the nic_bridge to the VMs
(repos/os/src/server/nic_bridge/README) actually are not ignored/are
permitted by your DHCP server.

In the single VM use-case (running without the nic_bridge), the MAC
address of the network card is assigned to your VM, which is probably
permitted/white-listed by your DHCP server in your network, I guess.
