A wireless access point with directional antenna pointed at you for the
neighbor, wired to his network, and a wireless Ethernet client bridge
with directional antenna pointed at the neighbor for you. If you want
your own wireless, then you'll also need a wireless access point wired
to your wireless Ethernet client bridge.

If the antenna is on a water tower, it's quite obvious it's
not on a satellite, unless of course the water tower is orbiting
earth.
This kind of question will bring answers from lawyers and
other trying to deceive you.
I would read a basic text on wireless. A 15 dollar PCI card, a
cantenna and a bit of cable and maybe a sniffer (wireshark ) and a
cracker (airdump-ng) and you will understand things better.

I'll assume you want to share your neighbors internet connection and
not break into what I suspect is a WISP (Wireless Internet Service
Provider) system. As with all forms of wired and wireless sharing,
permission of the owner is recommended. Some options:

1. If you're fairly close to the neighbor, less 100 meters wire run,
then you can just run a CAT5 cable to the neighbor and plug into his
router.

2. If wire is unacceptable, you can purchase a pair of antennas, pair
of wireless etherent bridges, and setup a wireless link to his router.

3. If he has an existing wireless router to distribute his internet
connection around his house, a directional antenna and wireless client
bridge (any olde wireless card) will connect to his router.

4. If you share the same AC power lines, without a transformer in
between, you might be able to user power line networking (HomePlug) to
connect between your house and the neighbors.

5. If all else fails, you can ask him for the name of the WISP,
duplicate his setup, and get your own account.
