Accessing python SimpleHTTPServer from outside Virtual Box

Question

I'm running a python SimpleHTTPServer inside a virtual box. Is it possible to access it from the host machine? Running ipconfig in my host gave me the following address. I tried using this in the browser of my host but that doesn't seem to work. Should i be looking at a different IP address?

  $> ipconfig
