I've always just switched the NIC to "bridged" mode.  You can do that from
the VirtualBox GUI, or via VBoxManage from the command line.

I use a script to set up a hipster VM for testing, and the network
portion of that script does:

VBoxManage modifyvm "$VM_NAME" \
     --nic1 bridged \
     --bridgeadapter1 "$HOST_NIC1" \
     --nictype1 '82540EM' \
     --nicpromisc1 'deny' >> $log 2>&1
