Craig --

It sounds like what you are really worried about is viruses and spyware from
an organization you have no control over, but who currently has unlimited
access to your network. I think what you really want is a firewall between
the "guest" company and your own servers and computers. You're right this
isn't a permissions problem.

An easy way to do this would be to set-up a second broadband router on your
first network by connecting its WAN port into one of the LAN ports on the
original router. Leave the guests on the original network, and hide all
your servers and PCs behind the second router. The guests continue to use
the original default gateway, and the new broadband router gets an address
on its WAN port from the DHCP server in the original router. Your servers
and PC now get their addresses from the DHCP server in the new router. You
need to make sure that the DHCP servers in each of the routers are serving
addresses using a different subnet so that the new router doesn't get
confused about what machines are supposed to be where.

You didn't give us much information on how your network is configured, so I
am making some assumptions based on 90% of the set-ups that are out there.
Unfortunately, this would not be a reasonable solution if you need to expose
ports on your servers in order to serve the public internet, for example
your company website or e-mail server.

  Hope this helps.
