Workgroups are a Windows networking thing (IPX/NMB?) and having nothing to
do with TCP/IP. In any case they don't protect against any viruses etc
being spewed out by the other network.

A few suggestions:

Choose an ADSL provider which will give you two IP addresses and attach one
router to each. I don't know if this is possible, but you'd need an ADSL
modem rather than a router to do this, which then goes to a switch connected
to two (non-ADSL) routers.

Double NAT. Connect an ADSL router to the phone line. Into the ethernet
sockets plug two non-ADSL routers, one for you and one for them. Some
applications might get confused (like Skype perhaps) but I think it should
work.

An old PC running FreeSCO, Smoothwall or another router Linux distribution.
Fit three ethernet cards, one to go to the ADSL modem or router, one for
your network and one for theirs. Set it up to route between these networks.
This is probably the simplest option: installation is usually a matter of
downloading a floppy or CD image, booting the PC off that and then entering
the network settings. Any Pentium class PC will do, look around your local
skips.
