Hi anyone...
Have a question for you.

My body and I decided that we need a network.
We live about 0.25 miles from each other, in the city.

I have a home Lan, Router and DSL modem, so it would be nice to get him connected.

Question:
Is it possible to set up a wireless network between us?
Wired network is out of questions..I guess.
The main problem - the distance...as i understand..
So, has anybody done that before? What hardware did you use?
What protocol? i would like to go with all this 802a,b..stuff..

I think I would have to use repeaters..what company? and all?

Any suggestions and advices will be greatly appreciated..

Thanks. :)
 
Have your buddy sign up for DSL or cable broadband, and then use a VPN connection.

If you both have more recent versions of Windows, this will essentially be free for both of you.
 
this is what i am thinking....
he just does not want to get internet..

Ok..let him suffer alone..:)

Thanks to anyone.
 
It would cost significant amounts of money to create the link you suggest. It would never be cost effective. He can create a VPN link through dial-up don't forget, it is just slow.
