You can not have the same static address on two different machines on the same network.
Can I ask why you think it must be the same IP address?

Plus you need to provide more information such as the settings for the guest.

PS I edited your subject line to better explain your problem.

So since the VirtualBox set up on my window server and under the VirtualBox I have Linux trixbox.org set up on there. The linux can't use the same static ip address as the window server. Is that right..
