Chuck: You're the second person to suggest vmware workstation to me. It is a little expensive for me but I'll look into it (it might be worth it if it saves me time in the long run - that's how I'll get my boss to look at it!).
Does it allow you to use the Linux portion of your computer to act as a DHCP server and assign different IP addresses to the different windows workstations, all on the same computer? That sounds a little hard to believe for me, but I would think that it would be necessary in order to do some testing.

You can setup a complete network of VM machines to do your testing and not touch the production network at all. I have VM Workstation for Linux running on my Laptop and routinely run 4 to 5 VM's all at once. I just bought a Dell PowerEdge 700 server with 4GB of RAM to run VMWare and it is going to replace the 4 computers currently residing in my office.
