Hi, I have the very same problem, even the IP address of my guest is identical to yours.
My environment is: VirtualBox OSE 1.3.3 running on Slackware 11 as host, with a guest running Windows XP Media Center Edition. I configured NAT for the guest network connection. My naive expectation was that the guest would now get just a new IP address within my home network from my router/switch. But instead it got 10.0.2.15 from ... s o m e w h e r e ...? I too can surf the internet and use WindowsUpdate and so on. I just cannot connect to my host, as I would have to tunnel my ISPs firewall then from the outside. Not sure if I have the skills to do this... ;-) I think it's possible to set up the guest OS with a fixed IP address manually, but I tend to think there must be a cleaner way. Solution of this issue is vital, as only then I can use scp to transfer data between host and guest, for backing up data created on the guest, eg. Without some reliable way of exchanging data I am hesitating to actually use the guest for production. Thanks for any help!
