    Please be explicit what excatly you want to do all with your existing infrastructure like which OS & ISP you are working with. What are your IP range etc etc..

    That would help us to understand the scenario and provide the best solution.

    Just use one switch to connect the two together and connect the switch to your ISP Hardware

    Is there a reason for having two separate networks? How far apart are they? Can you establish a connection between the two networks?

    As Scott stated above, it may be as simple as connecting the two switches together unless they are more than 100 meters apart. You may have to purchase a crossover cable instead of the typical straight passthrough cable. Depending on what switches you have, the last port in the switch may be able to handle the standard cable. There would be a little button next it to change the port configuration at one end.
