Isolate Wireless from LAN

I need to setup a wireless network between 2 pc's. One pc will be connected to our LAN, but will also be connected to a remote pc via wireless. However, I need to make sure that the remote pc cannot connect to the LAN, but the two pc's can share data and/or communicate with each other.

Example: One pc "remote" will be another building. It needs to collect data and/or communicate with another pc in main facility. The pc in the main facilty will also need to be on the LAN in that facility, however, the remote pc should not be able to get on the LAN for security reasons. My understanding of this is that a wireless bridge can be used to connect the two pc's together but keep the remote pc off of the LAN. The main pc will have to NIC cards, one for the LAN and the other for the wireless network.

Am I on the right track with this connectivity. I would appreciate a little insight into how this can be setup.

thanks
