Re: Can one keep networks apart on a machine?
How about a second NIC in the Windows machine, with a cross-over
cable to the NIC in the Linux machine? Or PPP over a serial cable?
You might have some trouble convincing the Windows machine that
you can establish a PPP connection without dialing a phone number;
the two services seem pretty tightly bound in the Windows OS.

Let your boss ask him WHY he doesn't want another OS on the LAN.
If he can't come up with a reasenable answer, fire him and get a new one.
