It's not clear what your problem is.
In the summary you say that host cannot connect to the guest.
In the description you say that the host cannot obtain an address from the DHCP server. (Which DHCP server?)
So what exactly is the problem?

Hi,
Virtualbox has embeeded DHCP server from which host and guest should obtain IP addreess to be in the same network. Guest achieving IP address but host doesn't. I want to be able to connect from host to guest machine using SSH.

Your VM has two network adapters. One of them NAT, the other internal network. The NAT network adapter uses the builtin DHCP server which is local for one VM. That means your VM behaves like it would be located behind a router -- it's not possible to connect from the host to the guest (different network). If you want to have the guest in the same network as the host then you need to use a bridged network adapter. Or use a host-only network adapter. These networking modes are described in the user manual.
