You mean 192.168.1.* for the laptop and 10.0.2.* for the virtual 
machines? Well, the IP address of the virtual machines is set by 
VirtualBox. Obviously you are using NAT setup where Virtualbox always 
uses 10.* addresses. If you want the same network as the laptop you need 
the network bridge mode for the interface. Before you start the VM, 
change the network setup for the VM from NAT to network bridge. However 
when you select the host interface where the bridge should connect, it 
can probably not be the wireless interface because only few wireless 
chips allow bridging.
