Internet in Intranet

Hello..
We have Cisco catalyst 3560 series PoE-24 in our system and we are using it for intranet. They gave me the IP 10.1.x.xx to connect to the server. I just would like to ask if it is possible to connect my dsl modem to this router so that I can access to internet? What I am doing right now is unplugging my cable to cisco and connect it to my dsl whenever I want to access the internet, and unplugging it again and reconnect to cisco if I want to access the intranet. Is there any solution for this situation? My dsl modem is giving me an auto IP address and it is configure to 192.168.x.xx . Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

It can easily be done.

Best to check with your IT department first. By connecting the company's network to the internet via a back door, you are creating outside access to your company's computing infrastructure. Even if you believe you've locked down outside access, there are always unintended consequences. In addition you may be violating company policy which could have dire consequences for your career. Get approval in writing.
