secure access point from rest of network

I want to have a "outsider" share my internet connection, but not be allowed to the rest of the network. Basically, I want them to be on their own access point and not be able to get anywhere else. Is this possible?

Further details: I have netgear equipment. My DSL line comes in and goes to my expensive wired router. From there, my server is attached and so is another switch. I have all of my other computers on the network on the switch. I really don't care where they "plug" into, but I just don't want to give them access to the server and all of my other computers. Suggestions?
