Thanks Uli for your ideas. That´s exactly the ways I imagined to do
the job. I have been trying to configure Virtual PC to do it, still
unsucessful.
Binding to the IP, I´ve already did that, but in my understanding, I
can just "hear" what´s going on the wire right? I can´t bind and
manipulate the data being sent or received on that IP, am I wrong?

Anyway, thanks for your ideas. Having another person thinking that way
makes me feel like I am on the right path.
