Yeah, it's in the network settings. 

With the instance completely shut down, go into that settings panel and 
choose "bridged" mode (and then choose the interface to bond it to).

This'll cause virtualbox to bridge the virtual intel pro/1000 card to the 
physical interface, rather than creating a full virtual subnet (with NAT, 
etc) for the host(s).
