OBIEE SampleApp 107, VirtualBox. IP adress issue

Question

Hello,
It is my first experience with VirtualBox. I always use VMWare and I've never seen such issue before.
Perhaps there is more a Linux question than a question OBIEE.
I have Virtual Box version of Sample app 107 on my Mac OS X laptop. I see that I have to modify hosts file for IP address. If I use ifconfig (in virtualbox) I see that my address is 10.0.2.15
My Mac OS host has a normal IP address like 192.169.10.108, so I expected something like that for my Virtual Box Sample 107 host too.
I want to access Virtualbox Sample 107 host from other VM's, for example using admin tool.
I tried different network adapters types (virtualbox setting): NAT, bridged adapter, internal network etc. Nothing helps - IP address of virtualbox host stay 10.0.2.15. If I manually set the IP address to 192.168.10.199 , I can still not access from outside.
Can someone explain to me how I can set the appropriate network property.
regards

Christian,
The first thing is - I know the difference between NAT and Bridget adapter. :-)
I mean, I've tried all types but without success.
For now I'm using NAT.
If I do ifconfig in the terminal of my Mac laptop, I see IP address - 192.168.10.103 (which is good)
If I do that in terminal Virtulbox I see IP address 10.0.2.15, see output below
That is just the problem that I mean, how can i get vb host correct in my network?
MY QUESTION IS - HOW CAN I GET A NORMAL IP ADDRESS FOR VIRTUALBOX HOST.
I can't ping virtualbox from my laptop and vice versa.
Regards,
Roman
