(I am not taking the LAN-bit into consideration as I don't understand
what you mean)

Easiest is VirtualBox-
- Install VirtualBox
- Install Windows guest (mount the windows disk, normall installation follow)
- Setup networking on Windows guest as it suits you.

Another option is Xen. Run Linux as dom0, have HVM to run Windows as
domU. This option also allows you to run several distro instances
which are switchable from within dom0.

They are all discussed elsewhere and you can find detailed howto in
howtoforge.com.
