You gotta work on your punctuation. Kinda hard to decode one long
sentence. I read it as you have a broadband connection in one
building, and two PC's in another. You wanna have them both connected
to the internet. Lots of ways to do it.
Broadband Modem

Wireless router ====> 802.11b <====== Wireless game
adapter or bridge
|| || || ||
PC1 PC2 PC3 PC4
YOu could also just connect some kind of external wireless radio to
each of the two PC's and connect without using a wireless game
adapter. This would probably be cheaper as USB radios are down to
about $30/ea while the wireless game adapters are $100 or more.
You'll get a network connection between the two PC's for free whether
you wannit or not. It will be much faster with the above arrangment
than having it go through the wireless router and back again.
