how to connect 2 LANS

[Guest]

i need to connect two LANS. one LAN is our clients(172.16.100.x) and one is
ours(192.168.100.x). we have a dedicated link through fibre optic as a
transport which links directly to us through the media converter, where it
plugs into my layer 2 switch. (not a good design, i know) we
(192.168.100.x)need to connect to their oracle database and applications
created in oracle as well as use development tools from inside our LAN. what
i want to do is to isolate our lan resources where we (192.168.100.x) can
access their ((172.16.100.x)LAN, oracle servers and certain clients) but
completely restrict their access to our lan.

You need a router between the two networks.

Sorry, not something I've ever been interested in trying. A router is much
easier.

If you have windows server (of any version) and two NICs you can set up the
server to act as a router.

Just doing a quick google search I came up with this:
