Want to create two indepent network in a office

Hi to all ,

I hv a Question, How can v implement two totaly different lan in a office(single place).

Acutally in our company there r two Partner's nd both hv 10-10 users. They don't want to access each other resources bt wants to share printers.

i gav them the VLAN option, but switch we r using is unmanage switch nd they not want to purchase manage switch.

Details of our networks:
2 mbs link, ISP hv provided ADSL router.
2 network printer(Color & B/W)
1 Server(OS 03)

Kindly help on this,

If you run active directory you can define boundaries to your taste. just a higher level of admin skill.

Humm... I would recommend a manage switch again

I'm curious; how can there be two organisations that don't want to be able to access each other's data but only one server?

nnbnbI say buy another NIC for the server and assign it an IP on the other network. Buy a cheap switch that can do vlans and create your two vlans. I'm not sure about sharing the two printers if the two vlans can't talk. Maybe buy a layer 3 switch and do access list so only the printers can be accessed from each vlan.

This is a cheap switch

thanks 2 all for ur suggestion,

Finally, i m able to convince my boss that V must need the manage switch for that requirements nd he agree on that.

So i think now, just need 2 create VLAN's nd that's all.
