You might want to try out VMWare (http://www.vmware.com/).
You create a virtual machine on your main machine. The VM has it's own IP
address. I used it to create a Win NT 4 AND a Linux box on my Win2000
machine. If you have questions, feel free to e-mail me offline.

I have no affiliation with the company except as a satisfied customer.


Cheers,
Debbie
