Subject: Orig eth0 was bridged, changed to NAT, but dhcp not working

Have Alpine 3.13 installed in an Oracle Virtualbox VM as a guestOS. It was
originally setup with a single bridged LAN interface configured as eth0
with dhcp. However post installation, I had changed the interface settings
to have eth0 setup with static-IP. The guestOS has a second interface (of
type Host-Only, from Virtualbox standpoint) configured as eth1, which I use
to login to the VM.

Later, I realized that from within this guestOS, I needed to access a VPN
setup in the host, and read a FAQ indicating that in such cases, Virtualbox
network type of NAT should be used. However, after I changed the network
type from bridged to NAT, and configured eth0 to take IP/config thru dhcp,
I can no longer get an IP address assigned to eth0.

While I am checking on Virtualbox forums as well, as to what might be
wrong, wondering if anyone here has an idea as to what might be the issue ?
I've made such changes in the past in Alpine 3.12 (which I ran for almost a
year), and had not seen such issues.
