Virtual Networking

[Michael Vanecek]

Yeah - my networks are private physically - I just want to isolate them 
so that the wife won't get her system infected by a system I'm working 
on and do it with the least hassle. I could easily wire a physically 
separate network - but if all I need to do is to create a virtual 
network separate from the physical, why bother?

Cheers,
Mike
