You know you recommend a software that simulates a LAN, to use as a virtual test environment before you apply the settings on physical machines? Should I install it on Windows 7.

This is a common use of Virtual Machine software. VMWare's VMWare Player is free for non commercial uses. You can set up several virtual machines and they can be on their own private network that only they share.

Scott, thanks for the reply, but I would an environment for learning, already use virtualization software, but they are not in my case ... – Daniele Oreste Marino – 2012-12-23T18:25:05.227

You can use NS on Linux. NS is a network simulation tool.
NS is a discrete event simulator targeted at networking research. Ns provides substantial support for simulation of TCP, routing, and multicast protocols over wired and wireless (local and satellite) networks.
By default it's for Linux, but now a Windows version came out!

do you need GUI? – Arash – 2012-12-23T15:44:56.690
If possibly, yes... – Daniele Oreste Marino – 2012-12-23T18:24:16.210
Thank you. There is nothing equivalent for Windows? Only for Linux? – Daniele Oreste Marino – 2012-12-23T18:41:48.963
Can you give a larger overview of what you are trying to test out, do you want to test a application on a network or are you testing network topology itself? – Scott Chamberlain – 2012-12-23T19:14:11.833
Network topology itself! – Daniele Oreste Marino – 2012-12-24T13:38:56.253
