Isolation from LAN

At work, all our computers are connected to a LAN, to an exchange server, with another server connected with specialist software loaded. The LAN has access to the WWW and third parties can dial in [specialist software company to fix problems] using PC Anywhere and VNC.

My computer has a lot of commercially confidential company info on the hard drive which I want to isolate and ensure security against anyone dialling in getting a look-see.

Has anyone got any ideas how I can achieve the isolation, or am I down to running a stand-alone PC separate from the workstation?

If I have to run the second stand-alone, presumably there is a switching device that I can install to allow me to have just the 1 monitor, KB and mouse that I can use with either machine?

Your ideas would be most welcome...
