I agree with that solution and would try it first time out. (Above
ground to make sure it works, then bury cable. If you want to make
sure it is safe, use a plastic water pipe to shield it.)
When I got to my present church, I tried wireless to see if I could
get a signal to my office which is a separate building away. Could
not get a reliable signal. So I got my cables out and we ran one
(overhead) from one building to the next, and used a coupler (Run was
not over length) in the building to get it to my office. They have
since relocated my office and I am in the main building but because
of topography I still have a hard line to my office. (The church is
built in the round with a lot of brick walls which are then set at an
angle which limits wireless signal)

Larry,
Vicky's first solution is where I would start. Just make sure the
distance from building to garage is less than 330feet.
Its hard wired so there is less chance of interference. Just make
sure the cable is protected so it wont get sliced. You can run a
test cable on the ground as proof of concept, and if it works well
make it permanent. Best buy sells a $15 4 port switch from Linksys,
which would just require a power source in the garage. 1000' of Cat
5e cable at HomeDepot for $60. and the Job is done in an afternoon.
"1. Running new Cat5 cable from one house to an ethernet switch ($30 or
so for a 100Mbps switch with 5 or 8 ports) in the garage, and then
more cable from the switch to the 2nd house. "
