It's normal, bridge acts as if the virtual computer were attached to the network like any other so you can see it directly. In NAT mode, The VirtualBox controller acts as if it were a NAT router with the virtual machine on the LAN side and the host on the WAN side, so the guest can see the host but the host can't see the guest.
To allow any such program like remote control, you must do a port forwarding in VirtualBox "router" to enable that port. In the configuration, network tab, under the advanced settings there is a button that lets you configure port forwarding to the guest. For the built in remote desktop, port 3389 is the one you must send. | My System Specs | | Computer type Laptop System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba Sattelite A665-S6092 OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Intel Core i7-740QM Memory 8 GB DDR3 Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 330GT Screen Resolution 1366x768 Cooling Coolermaster Notepal U3 notebook cooling pad Hard Drives Samsung 840 SSD 500GB

Why to use command line when you can use the normal settings screen to do the same?
Open the settings of the VM and on the network tab fill the port forwarding info. | My System Specs | | Computer type Laptop System Manufacturer/Model Number Toshiba Sattelite A665-S6092 OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Intel Core i7-740QM Memory 8 GB DDR3 Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 330GT Screen Resolution 1366x768 Cooling Coolermaster Notepal U3 notebook cooling pad Hard Drives Samsung 840 SSD 500GB
