Work Network Admin refuses to give me How do I implement a 2ndsecond router within a network so that two computers can share the same (internal) IP address so I have to add extra router?

At work I am given only a single internal IP address (198.168.10.106) to be used on a single computer on the network. ProblemThe problem is that I want to use 2 computers at my office and share the only single given IP address between them.

On one of my 2 computers I have a web server that I want to be accessed from (198.168.10.106) work network. My work's network Administrator will not give me a second IP address, so I decided to use a TP-Link consumer Router to have the single available IP shared between the 2 computers.

TO SUMMARIZE. I wantwould like both my server PC and the regular windows PC (connected to the router's LAN port) to be seen over my work network as one IP address. The one given by my administrator (198.168.10.106).

Work Network ----->| WAN MY ROUTER ||----> PC 1 |---- PC 2

I connected the cable from my work's wall socket to the WAN port of my Router. And from my router's 2 LAN ports a cable to my 2 personal computers respectively. So I am about to share this single IP address (198.168.10.106) between my PC1 and PC2 which are given IP addresses 198.168.0.1 and 198.168.0.2 respectively.

WHERE IS THE PROBLEM? The problem is that Internet works fine but Windows File Sharing with other computers on work network does not work.

Any ideas?
