How does this sound?

My home system runs XP Home. I build a new box and put XP Pro on it. I am going to run Virtual PC on the XP Home box, and install Server 2003 through Virtual PC onto a seperate partition of the HD. Then I will use Server 2003 through Virtual PC and test the results (IE: policy changes, scripts) on the XP Pro box.
Now how should I configure this? Should I put a 2nd network card in the "server" and run a crossover cable to the XP Pro machine? or since I have a spare hub, connect both machines to that?
Suggestions?

It would work, but I would upgrade XP Home to Pro, then use the second box as the server....

I am using a 120 day eval version of XP Pro which is why I am not upgrading my current system. I have plenty of computers around so in theory I could set up a seperate XP Pro and Server 03 box, but I do not have enough power strips for all the boxes. I am doing all this in my bedroom.
