How to increase the range of a WiFi network

Is there anyone who can tell me how to crease the range (default about 80 to
100 yards) to 800 yards for a Wireless Linksys router. By taking the 3
conditions below into account:
1.. Both houses are on ground level.
2.. In both houses an antenna mounted outside the house isn't possible.
3.. In a straight line between the 2 houses, there is a high density of
obstacles, which consists out of houses with 2 floors. Those houses are made
out of stone. So they aren't made out of concrete with steal in it.
I hope that the situation above can be realized and that somebody can tell
me what devices (probably some sort of antenna) are necessarily.

Allready thanks,

Bert from The Netherlands (Europe)

Get some high gain directional antenna's on both ends and point them through
the common windows at any object you both can see between ya. A two story
house or even a tall tree. Might get enough scatter to link up. But don't
get your hopes up too high.
