hi Daniel
powerline network....watch out......if its not on the same fuse/line
it may not work at all....
i suggest fibre or wireless, to use cat5(lan) cable you have to use
line drivers which use a higher voltage to get the data through
optical fibre is lightning strike proof.....

Hi Martin
Another option which be worth having a look at is Ethernet over
Power (I
think it's named that way,..lol).
Netgear make a few devices like that

Basically you plug one end into the wall near one computer (and or
modem/router) and connect an Ethernet cable to it. The other one
you then
place near the other computer and run an Ethernet cable to it.
The Ethernet "signal" then travels through the power and to both
computers.
I had a quick look on the site and I couldn't see a distance limit,
so not
sure if it has one.
Also to bear in mind, is that some of these aren't as fast as
others, so if
you need lots of speed/transfer to check each one.
Prices range from about $200-$300 depending on models, but if you were
interested I've got a couple of "traded in" sets which are brand
new never
used to move,...
Worth a look anyway. May or may not be suitable for what you're
trying to
achieve.
Hope that helps.
Kind Regards
Daniel
