Forum title edited. Please follow the rules.

basically you don't need to enable any of file and printer shares. under tcp/ip of their tan connection specify the ip address of the router (gateway) and the dns from your isp. done!

He wants file sharing and printer sharing on the seperate divisions though I think.

What you should do is configure the router with 2 subnets, one for each department. Configure the subs to allow file/printer sharing amongst themselves and all traffic will pass through the main router.

as ctwizzy says, stick a router in the middle and put the 2 networks on different subnets, or if you want both departments to share a single server, then make it a multihomed server by installing multiple NIC's and do the same thing with the subnetting (different ip range on each NIC)
