[Solved] Win 7 Networking to host computer

Hi,
I hope someone can help me here. I have Virtual Box 3.0.6. My main machine is Vista and I am running Win7 in virtual box. I have setup shared networking, but I cannot see anything on the Win7 OS. When I am using it, I have run an ipconfig and it is showing a different range to the ip use locally. I believe this has to do with Nat. My local range is 192... and the win7 machine is 10... How do I change it so that it is using the same range as I am locally which then should allow me to see the Virtual OS.
thanks

Shutdown the guest and then in the network settings change it to Bridged mode.
