networking two computers hard wire

networking two computers hard wire

I have a netgear ethernet router rp614. I want to connect one of the ports
to my grandmas computer, the problem is she is my neighbor one house down.
Is there a way i can burry an ethernet cable from my router to her
computer.

I dont want to spend all the money setting up sa wireless network.

Can I get a very long rg 45 cable (ethernet) and burry it in pvc. I have
alot of rg6 cable (coax) would it be possible to use the coax to share the
internet connection?

Yes, to both. You can have Cat 5 or 6 Ethernet cable made up with ends on it
to any length you want or you can buy it on reels and put ends on yourself.
There are devices to use RG-6 for networking, but they're not at all as good
as Ethernet and you'd have to buy the hardware to connect it.

I believe the max distance for ethernet is 100 meters.

As Travis said, the limit on CAT5 twisted pair is 100m or 320 feet. If that
works for you, fine. If you really want to use coax, you can use up to 185m
(600 feet) of 50 ohm, 802.3 compliant 10base2 cabling. Since new, cheap,
high speed network cards don't usually support 10base2 any more, you may
have to find some older NE2000-compatible 10Mbit cards, a pair of T
connectors and network terminators. I'd point out that all of that probably
costs more than the $60 wireless networking kits available at consumer
stores (albeit the 802.11b stuff), none of those cheap kits will get you 100
feet reliably.

If you need more than the 300 feet you can get with CAT5, you might want to
use 'granny net', where you walk down the street, share a cup of tea with
your grandmother and carry your files back on a CD.

What does the neighbor in between you guys think about your running a trench
through their yard?

Sounds to me like his grandmother is the neighbour, I would think 100m
more than suffices for what he is trying to do... just run the cat5 in
pvc to your router should be all fine
