I work for a company that is very strict on security. We have a training room that is used to train both internal employees and outside customers. We need the training PCs to be inside our network sometimes, and outside our network other times, because some sites present different web pages depending on the location of the client. Since we use filtering and a proxy, what we see from a web site via our LAN may be different than what someone on the general Internet may see. So we have brought in a DSL connection to use for the “public” Internet connection. To make this work, we have two different cables available for the trainer. One connects them to our LAN, the other to the DSL connection. These are then plugged one at a time into a pc that has Windows ICS, and all training PCs go through that shared connection. This keeps the training PCs from ever being on both networks at the same time. Is there a better way to keep the two networks separate, but simplify the training environment? Please consider cost when answering. Budget is a concern.
