that's why a bridge would be better - assuming I can selectively
restrict what goes over the bridge I don't have to do anything else ...
no proxy-arp, no NAT ... and as the Windows machine doesn't have to be
given a fake IP, the license servers running on it won't have to be
modified (which would mean waiting for new license keys to arrive from
various companies, which has taken weeks in the past)

sorry, I hadn't mentioned why I didn't think I could use NAT ...
