Default Limiting network access with a dual network


I live at my parents' but have my own internet connection. I still need
to be connected to their network so the family can access files on my
computer anytime, and I can use the shared printer on that network. To
solve things I bought an extra ethernet controller so now I have the
following
Network controller built-in to motherboard = connected to my personal
router
New network controller (PCI) = connected to family router.

Looking into the Network and Sharing Center, both connections have
access to the internet, but what I would like to do somehow, is only
allow internet access on my own router, and limit the connection on the
new controller to "local only". Anyone know how to do that? I've looked
all over, and all I can find is ways of FIXING the "local only problem",
which is exactly the opposite of what i would like to do.

You will setup one default gateway. Posting the result of ipconfig /all here
may help. or this link may help.

Thank you, that was very helpful. I set a static IP address on the
"local only" network connection and set the default gateway to a made up
1.1.1.1. Now I have access to all computers on that network but not the
internet, and then the internet on my own router
