Is it possible to have a PC with 2 nics, have system booting XP and a Virtual machine running a Linux install and have the Linux install to run on a different network card than the XP install?
Basically have:
system booting XP running on built in NIC on mainboard
seperate PCI NIC installed in machine
Slackware, CentOS or Ubuntu running in a virtual machine
now set the Linux install to run out of the virtual machine to the PCI network card.

If you are running your VM server in the XP environment you can assign that linux virtual machine a different physical NIC. -

You can do the same even under linux. I use Ubuntu Server as Host OS and installed Vmware GSX server on the Linux host. Running 2 Vmware machines each having a separte nic. One nic i left as Management, from which i can manage the Linux Ubuntu resources via the Vmware Server Console.
