DHCP is simplified just a way to ask a server for an IP address.
I don't know exactly what the result is if the Mac already got an address
and VPC asks for another address for the same ethernet card.
I assume though the PC just gets no address. Check it with "winipcfg".
You have to manually set a new IP address in VPC. Forget DHCP. Just
care for two unique IP addresses.

But I believe there is simply no chance with VPC2.
VPC 2 can't handle two different IP addresses which is neccessary
for the Web server test environment you're looking for. (as far as I know)
