... etc

I want to test these website in IE9, for this i have install windows7 in oracle virtual box and also modified host file of windows7 and add this line 10.0.2.2 localhost at the end of the file and also create a new bridge adapted.
After all this setup i can access localhost of ubuntu from windows7, but find problem while accessing virtual host of ubuntu. Please help me to access these virtual host on windows 7, i have already search google, ubuntu forum and stackoverflow for this but didnt find right answer.

Just add those lines you have added to Ubuntu's host file to the host file in your Windows 7 VM, replacing 127.0.0.x with 10.0.2.2 should make your Windows VM connect to your Ubuntu host for requests to those hosts. This should usually sufficient, unless your HTTP server is configured to serve www.example.local only for connection to 127.0.0.2 and similar for www.wordpress.local.

If I understand you correctly, you want the virtual adapters ip, ie. the gateway ip.
