Hi Dustin,

did you tried to install Microsoft Loopback device? if you configure 
this the same way as your ethernet device you should be able to get it 
working. you can't have two devices on same network so if you have just 
disabled your lan you have to use another one, e.g.:
LAN IP: 192.168.0.2 Mask:255.255.255.0
LoopBack: 192.168.1.2 Mask:255.255.255.0

and than you have to change your config to something like this:
<network index="0" type="bridged" name="Loopback Connection" />

and you have to configure your linux to setup eth0 in 192.168.1.x 
network. e.g. (using debian):
/etc/network/interfaces:
....
iface eth0 inet static
	address 192.168.1.1
	netmask 255.255.255.0

but i would prefer to use TAP - seems to be faster.

Regards,
Martin
