First wireless then dsl

Hi, I need assistance with the following.

My appartment is like 50 meters from my office. I'd like to use this
physical proximity to use my office internet access at my home.

Is it possible to connect my home laptop using wireless technology with
my office laptop which is also LAN-ed to the DSL router in my office?
If yes how? Is it neccessary to have access point as a separate device?
Could my office laptop be an access point for my home laptop? I
appreciate your answers. Thanx a lot. Rgrds, Cactoos

Clear line of sight? Or things in between? What things?

Yes.

>If yes how?

1. Ad hoc network of wireless adapters on the two machines.
2. Internet Connection Sharing on the office laptop.

No.

Yes.

50 meters is far for typical laptop wireless adapters. You might well
need high-gain directional antennas, at the office end at least; e.g.,
Hawking USB wireless adapter with built-in high-gain antenna.
