 From the readme.os2:

Vbox now comes with 2 different interfaces:

VboxBFE.EXE and VirtualBox.exe  .. these will be mentioned as the
SDL version and   QT version    

SDL version is a simple version where everything is done from CMD line,
    but this version is more reliable than QT version, and is the only
    frontend, where Hif/Tap networking currently works.

QT  version has nice GUI for just about all setups, and makes life easier
    for any end user - but for now several features do not work with this
    version, and it is not SMP safe (see FAQ)


Which mode are you running VBox/2 in ? Perhaps SDL (command line) 
version will work for you where the GUI version will not ?
