Router Emulation

OK, I want to emulate a router on a computer running Server 2008, I have a Routing OS installed on free BSD inside of VMWare. The computer I am doing it on only has one NIC, the one it obtains its connection from. I need to emulate a NIC or ethernet card, so my laptops can obtain their connections from the router, or VPN to the Virtual NIC.

Is there is any software that is "Reasonably Priced" or free that can do this?

If so how would i set it up?

The laptops already get a wireless connection from a existing linksys router.
 
The entire point of a router is to connect different networks to one-another. Without mutliple NIC's, you can't have a true router. I'd suggest either getting another NIC (they're next to nothing) or reconsider what you're trying to do. I don't quite understand what you're attempting here, but I suspect it can be achieved without creating a router.
