[Copperman]

how much cat5 can you use between hookup before they dont work?

if you live within that distance you should be able to rock and roll

wont wireless work?

setup a wireless on the roof of both houses and your set .

Simple solution, Wiley Coyote. You need the Acme Network Expansion kit. If you order now it should arrive immediately. Unfortuantely, it will likely not work as planned and end in your computer crashing.

Just get some wireless gear, and away you go. You can do 10baseT over about 1,000 feet with usually no problems as well (although I'm fairly certain that is out of spec)

Wireless ethernet is 11 mbps, &amp; I believe the official spec is 1500 feet with no obstructions. That can quickly be chopped to 300 in an office environment. It should be able to easily cope with the distance from one side of a street to another.

hello, the line has to be somewhere.

 

[bigbootydaddy]

um...he would have to somehow route it since TW only sends one ip...

guess you could convince him to stick in a second nic.

I was in the same boat as you. Dearborn Hts., which is 600 ft. from me, had cable modems 2 years before Dearborn did. I kept threatening my wife that I was going to string a cable over Outer Drive. BTW if my house was in the Heights it would be worth less. UGH!
