Hi Guys, i need a help here, i have a friend that lives far 100m from here and he would like to share his connection with me( he has a small server there)I'd like to know the best solution for this, Wireless Network?

assuming you mean 100 meters, you could run a cat 5 that far. i would run it in a conduit like some pvc pipe or somthing. fiber would be too expensive.
i went to the tomshardware forums and all i got was this lousy signature.
Hmm, but i would like to use Wireless network, it's easiest method here, i can't use a cable till my neighbor's house.
How about? what do i have to use?

If you don't use home-made or expensive equipment your range will probably not be good enough. Even if you have a clear line of sight most wireless networks peak in bandwidth around 14 megabits, leaving much to be desired. Range is your real problem

the specs on cat5 say 100 meters, after that, your on your own as to how much further it can go. cat5 standards mandate that it must go 100 meters. its not going to come to a dead stop at the 100 meter mark. i have had cat5 go about 125 meters, results will vary. the only thing to worry about is speed loss from the increased error rate.
my computer is so fast, it completes an endless loop in less than 4 seconds!
