You can ssh out and redirect back in, or any of several things, but then the 
host need to open it's firewall to allow other machines in, and do forwarding 
(IIRC), it only takes a few lines of script to setup the bridge, then the guest 
is independent, as much as it can be.

I'm on such a guest now, I have multiple severs running on the host, we all have 
our own connections.

What you said is totally correct, but there are advantages to tap.
