Running two different networks from one computer
Here is my scenario -
I will be at a convention center and we will be using their internet via Ethernet. All computers are running Windows 10 Pro.
I also will be setting up several laptop workstations that will need to share information from one computer, but I do not want them to have access to the internet.
So there will be several computers connecting via Ethernet sharing data with our "Server" computer, and I need the "Server" computer also to have access to the internet (using the conference center Ethernet) to be able to upload and download files from Dropbox.
I've attempted this before but have never been able to make it work. Can anyone offer me some guidance on setting this up?
Additional information: In the past, I have used a NetGear router in default configuration to assign IP numbers. the workstations are connected to a switch, and the "server" is also connected to a switch. If I have needed to access the internet, I have had to disconnect the "server" from the network, and then connect it to wifi to download what is needed from the "cloud" and then turn off wifi and connect the network again. Also, the "server" is actually just a larger computer running software that provides data sharing information. It's not a true server. We also use it as a print station.
Thanks
