I want to create a subnet inside a network, it should get only the Internet but not the network folder..how?

Question

Hi, we have the internet at my workplace, I want to get the service to a computer lab, the lab computer should be able to the share the folders and printers on the LAB network, this is working already, now; I need to get the internet to the lab from the main network ( OFFICE) with no access to OFFICE's folders, can I do that without a server or a domain controller, with a switch only? I tried to use 2 ethernet cards on a computer so it gets the service from OFFICE and applies it to the LAB switch, but I had a problem with addressing them, can anyone help me???

OFFICE IP range starts with192.168.0.1
LAB IP range starts with 192.168.1.1

Answer 1

OFFICE & LAB both need to be on the 192.168.0.0 network or you need to use a router...

permissions on the OFFICE shares would have to not include the User Group of Everyone so that LAB can not connect to those resources w/o a valid user name and password

Answer 2

What you were trying to do with that PC was to use as a router. This is not impossible, but is not recommended. The best way to achieve this is to use a router with 3 interfaces. 1 for internet connection and 1 for each internal network. Then you can configure the router to allow traffic from LAB to the internet but block packets from LAB to OFFICE.

Hope this helps.

in case you advise the provider components the on the spot sign direct, it is not proper for sharing. the only way is to establish a 2nd community card in the linked device. Then set up internet connection sharing on the on the spot connection. Use the community connection wizard for this. Then all different machines connect in the path of the foremost device. A router won't paintings with the form of provider.
