what your doing is illegal in some sense i'm sure... technically there is a solution for what you want to do, a cheap one, eh..maybe a repeater would work to boost the signal.just don't hang that from a telephone pole, others will catch onto it and report it, and the wireless repeaters aren't waterproof , and the long electric cord running to it will be like a lightning rod, frying anything/everything around when it's hit by lightning. pretty much "back to the future" style.

Get a 28DBI dish.

Two cantennas or other directional yagis.

Your best bet is to put a wireless router at your neighbor's house. Something like a Linksys WRT54GL that can be put into bridge mode. Then connect the directional antenna to one of the antenna jacks on the router, and use the other antenna jack for supplying signal in his house. You will probably also want a directional antenna on your router pointed toward him, but may not need it.
