Hello, my real system is Debian Lennny, My VirtualBox Is the same, both without graphic environment.

I want to make network bridge because i configured my virtual host with static interface from my local network..

How to do this?

Drop this create a network bridge in lenny on VBox in Google.com there are a few things that that will help as well as a few problems indicated by Debian.

The ip of my real box is: 192.168.10.10, i want to setup ip 192.168.10.11 to my virtualbox, but with this configuration when i try to ssh to 192.168.10.11 i was connected to 192.168.10.10, the virtualbox working or stoping is with no sense

If the VM needs to be like a normal physical machine, you no longer need a virtual NIC for the bridge. At least, since version 2.1.0 (check the changelogs for the exact version), you no longer need it. You select the NIC directly. For the VM, you simply configure it with the IP you want it to have.

Can you give me example how to configure the ip of the virtualbox?

[Sasquatch]

IP configuration is not done in VB, it's in the OS itself. If you don't know, Google it.

You're confusing Host-Only with Host Interface, the name changed a few versions back. Host-Only is as the manual states, only the Host, no outside connections possible (VMs and Host connections only). Host Interface is renamed to Bridged to avoid confusions with Host-Only.
