The situation is:

  • I have 1 router 192.168.1.1, 1 switch, 1 windows server and a basic LAN of devices accessing it.

  • I need to split into 2 separate LANs with full Internet access each, but isolated from each other.

Given that, the server is a Windows Server 2008 R2 with 2 NICs:

  • NIC1: 192.168.1.2

  • NIC2: 192.168.2.2

The router has no dhcp configuration.

Please, can anyone explain gracefully, step by step, what do I need to do? What would be the 2 NICs full configuration? What services do I need to install?

I don't want devices on either network to see devices on the other network, they must be completely separate.

I guess I'm missing the routing procedure step, but I have no idea how is that done.

For example: tell the server that devices with gateway 192.168.2.2 must send traffic for internet to 192.168.1.1 router.

Thanks in advance.
