Hi!

Describe the test-machine, please. If both workstations are on the same
subnet, you should probably configure the test-machine as an
ip-forwarder or even as an ethernet-level bridge. If your personal
workstation is on a different subnet, which is not serviced by proxy or
dns, you should configure NAT on the test-machine.

In general, there's little problem in cascading gateway installations.

Regards,
Andrew P.
