You can also go with 1000baseSX. I have a setup with a PowerRail 1000
routing switch. It's got 20 10/100 ports and 2 1000SX ports. You can do
between 275m (62.5/125um) and 550m (50/125um) depending on the multimode
fiber type you use. Packet Engines also has some 1000SX boxes that let
you do about 100km though I doubt your other computer is that far!
