Networking?

How would i do network these two computers? My house to my friends house, he lives almost a mile away from me. Is there anyway how i could network them? Please help me out.

Networking?
As mentioned above, you cannot directly connect the two houses together with a single ethernet cable. Not only would it be expensive, the signal will attenuate before it travels that far. Wireless also will not work unless you set up intermediate repeaters to repeat the signal along the path. Be aware though, wireless will have very poor performance results.





I am not sure the context of your question, but if each house has an Internet connection and you are simply wanting to connect the two home networks together so you have share network resources, you need to create a Virtual Private Network (VPN) over the Internet. The best way to do this is to buy a VPN router for each network and configure then to have a VPN tunnel between the two networks.
Reply:You have to buy an ethernet cable (without the end RJ-45s) You can buy them as long as 25km, 50km and even 100km. Then you have to buy a RJ-45 jacks and a tool to implant them. Then you can use that wire witha router to connect the two computer. The thing is how do you going to network them if your freinds house is on the other side of the road or something like that? I mean you cannot just put a wire across the road because it is illiegal in US and Canada.


Also consider wide range, high power wirelss with advanced encryption for security. How about:


Dlink Xtreme N Wireless Router (DIR-655)

Reply:yeah about impossible, or atleast cost prohibitive.


1) server based, and one person vpn in


2) microwave (assuming there is line of sight)


3) theoretically wireless bridges, however the span is fairly short, and would need multiple bridges.
Reply:The distance between the computers is too large. Regular Ethernet cable can only span a length of 100m before signal attentuation occurs.
