My network in question that is stuck being public is a workgroup, but I think you are confusing work network with workgroup. When I had a real company I set up and administered a domain, so I am familiar with such things though not an expert.

Actually switching from a workgroup to a domain might be a solution to my problem that I hadn't thought of. Hmm.

Anyhow this network has no router and it has no switch. It has a three foot cat6 cable. Name resolution is via lmhosts, so there is no need at all for DNS. I don't want traffic routed out of the subnet. If I did, I know how to do so.
You might also make the PC act as the router, and host itself, and the other thing on the end of the Cat6 cable.
