wireless would probably require an extra antenna due to the distance.

burying the cat5 in PVC might just be the best bet.

there is a networking news group for further assistance.

either would still need a firewall. or a router box of some kind.

  My property is the first (or last, depending on your view point) on the non
  ADSL exchange. I have a phone line in a shed which is the last "property"
  on the ADSL ENABLED one. BT state that I can get a 512kbps service (max)
  from the shed and run a wireless connection to my house but what are the
  advantages, if any, of choosing this route over say running CAT5 cable
  across to my house? The shed is 20 metres from my house and I would ideally
  like to use the BT connection in the shed to also run not only my PC, but a
  phone as well (I guess I'd have to invest in a hands-free phone with good
  range to get to the shed)

  I see wireless as a nice and tidy option with no running cables, but I do
  have concerns about security. I play a lot of on-line games as well and I
  did hear that wireless can prevent some of these running because of firewall
  issues (I don't understand why though to be honest)

  Please help me choose, I am sick of being on this crummy dialup. I have
  tried to ask BT for advice, but has anyone managed to call them these days
  and get to talk to someone with technical knowledge? Believe me, it is
  actually impossible to do so!

  thanks

  Ian
