Not to put too fine a point on it, but if you're trying to run a Linux system on a Windows machine, why not download the FREE VMWare Server 2.0 and install Linux as a VM?
You can give the VM a couple of virtual network adapters and use one for a host-only network and the other for connectins on your "real" network.
