Re: Question about use of VMware to build an isolated network from host machine

["MOpsitos" <mopsitos () zbzoom net>]

Take a look at the networking capability of vmware's free offering - VMware
Server beta.  You can set up a virtual network isolated from the host
operating system.  I set things up like this all of the time at work using
VMware Server's big brother ESX server.
