Agreed. We could debate the pros and cons of the technology forever. Wi-Fi, as all technologies, has its ups and downs.
Best regards,

Don't under estimate people, anywhere in the world

Protect yourself at least a little bit by using encryption available. Also, if your only interested in the internet access, you could make sure the work access point is connected outside of the internet network. I discovered a company near mine that had their main building link to a warehouse and the signal spill reached over 5 miles away.
FYI - You may want to look at radio modems, though they may not be as fast as you want. http://www.maxstream.net/products/xtend/rf-modem-ethernet.php This one is $400x2 and provides a 115kbs connection and has aes256 encryption. Definitely more expensive than attempting wifi, but rated for allot more miles.

No disrespect to him, but unfortunately we are at war.
Time to end communications with him.
If you are sincere, goodluck to you and your families, and I apologize.
Enough said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't be silly...

The American military has an entire wing dedicated to infowar and whatever encryption they might find to protect this data will range from easily breakable to a little project for the NSA. Remember, the majority of the Pakistani population is not pro-taliban, and the advancement of their technology is detremental to Al Queda's goal of devolution.

However there is a very cost effective solution if you have a dedicated telephone line available between the two sites. You can connect the two computers using VDSL modems at both ends and can get an effective transfer rate of about 10mbps which is quite decent. VDSL modems are easily available in the market and to configure them is quite easy and hassle free.

I learned a lot from the discussion. I live in the United States and have been trying to solve the exact same issue except within a shorter distance. I have chosen to go with the vcn solution. No equipment to buy, and it's a free download.

Guy on ranch in Texas is really 'IT'
by jcanoy - 4/20/06 4:32 AM In reply to: Re: Connect 2 computers (10 miles away) using wireless tech. by ahsanonlineIf he was doing this for nefarious purposes, probably would not be so open... would pretend like he was some nice guy/gal (gal would work better) trying to set something up to watch the nice deer or birds at some distant location (which is really a sentry for alerting of a raid on the 'cave'). Every tech can be used for good or evil.
jcanoy, the project already changed to other thing

by Visualdude - 4/20/06 8:12 AM In reply to: Connect 2 computers (10 miles away) using wireless tech. by ahsanonlineI just realized that this post is from October of 2004! I feel like a idiot for spending my time reading through this, let alone posting to this discussion.
That's once, shame on CNET for mailing this out without some disclaimer about the age of the discussion. Next time, it's shame on me for not checking.
According to the original poster's profile, he hasn't been back since October 16th 2004.
Cheapskate?

Whatever happened to Windows remote desktop? Does anyone use it?
