Hi
It can be a simple affair to separate them or a very complicated one, it
depends on how the cables are connected, and why they are on the same
switch, and (I.e. is this switch is also bringing the Internet or other
resources to both LANs. If you can isolate the cables of the four computers
and plug them into a separate switch that is not connected to the main
switch you would have you own Network. Otherwise, you might need a Router
between your four computers and the rest of the system. Other wise, you can
device and elaborate Security policies system that would control who can
access which computer. Or block IPs with software firewalls.
