virtualbox

I'm on a work machine, setting up a virtual ubuntu image using virtual box.

After I installed the image, I can't seem to connect to the internet.

If I look at network and sharing center on my host OS (W7) I see that the VirtualBox Host-Only Network reads as "no network access"

How can I set it up so that it uses the same network as the host OS.

UPDATE!
Okay, is there a way I can tell virtual box host-only network to use a proxy script?
