Hi! Describe the test-machine, please. If both workstations are on the same subnet, you should probably configure the test-machine as an ip-forwarder or even as an ethernet-level bridge. If your personal workstation is on a different subnet, which is not serviced by proxy or dns, you should configure NAT on the test-machine.
In general, there's little problem in cascading gateway installations.
