Ah you have a router!
The reason to have that is to protect your computers by only showing the routers ip-address to the world(public).
The inner machines gets private addresses which are kind of private......
Do you get my point?

Enough sarcasm describe how you have things connected and what your higher level goal is. Perhaps its reachable some other way.

To be able to get a second Public IP address your provider would need to give it to you. Call them and see if they will give you another address.
If they will give you a second one then all you need to do is put that one in the guest.

Re: How to give VirtualBox guest OS it's own IP address
I have strugled with this for a while...here is what I did...and it works; just figured it out today:
Install Bridge so Virtualbox VMs can get their own IP
1. Virtualbox -Settings, add network card for “Host-only Networks.”
2. Check mark Manual Configuration and add a network address: 192.168.0.100 (an addressed not used on your network) and subnet mask (ie 255.255.255.0. No DHCP Server
3. Go to Control panel>Network Connections, select the Local Area Connection and the Bridge you created. Right click the two highlighted and there is only one choice; I forget; it will create a Network Bridge
4. Go to your VM and set Network to Host-only Network and choose the Network adapter you created.
That's it...I set the same network adapter for each VM (Windows XP and Linux)...they end up each going to the dhcp on the router and getting an address of their own. I don't have to do any port forwarding or any of that jazz. Good luck.
