I need pointed in the right direction.

I live in a very rural part of Ohio. I am trying to link my two
buildings together wirelessly.

Here is what we have. We have a grain leg (Tower) that has a wireless
antenna on it that we recieve our internet through. It can 'see' the
service providers antenna 4 or five miles away. The wire comes down
from the tower and has a Power thing it goes through...

This power thing plugs into an AC outlet and has the Cat 5e going
in and out. Can any one tell me what this is and does?

ANYHOW the wire then goes into my one building where I have a Belkin
router. this router has 4 connections but I only currently use 2. One
to a PC that is right next to the router and one runs through conduit
to a pc in the main office.

NOW what I would like to do is set up a wireless antenna system to
get internet to my other building that is about 800 feet away. If I
cut down some trees this would be a line of site or very near los.

My problem is I don't have an IT degree and while I am not a total
goof I quickly get overwhelmed with tech when I try to find out what
system I need. I was figuring an antenna at each location of course
but what specific hardware I need is proving to be hard to determine.

Where can I go to find out these specifics? I would like someone to
say "You need the blah blah blah with the blah blah adapter, or you
could use the blah blah and blah blah and that plugs directly into
your router"

thanks for all your help.

A really low cost solution could be a Linksys WRG-54G Wireless Router
acting as your access point at the Belkin end and a Linksys WAP54G
Access Point acting as your remote client at the far end. Stick one at
say 20 ft up and the other at 10 ft up, place them under an upside
down plastic bucket.

I appreciate your responces. The items under the bucket sounds like
it would work but this is going to be a more permanant install so
maybe the next step up would be more suited.

I was looking at those panel type antenna for the router and some yagi
type thing at the remote. OR should I use two yagi styles?

here is something that I know is simple but I just can't seem to
find..... on those panel type antennas and yagis how do you actually
connect them to say a router or pc ethernet port? They all mention
differant N or R connectors or something but I don't know how you
actually make the connection between a Yagi antenna and a pc.

If I had two yagi antennas and my current pc config, how would I hook
them up? Thank you for any advice you can give me.
