How do you network two computers that are about 150 ft apart?

You could hard wire the two together but it's easier to go wireless. each computer must be capable of wireless reception, if they are not go buy one or two usb adapters for hooking up to the computer. They come with software that takes you step by step to install the software so no worries there. Also buy a wireless router, linksys, dlink, belkin, netgear etc., plug ethernet line from cable modem into router instead of computer. You can install the software (sometime they want you to install it first before hooking up the router but you can just go to 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 in your web browser and go from there. Just remember you would probably want to enable encryption, 64 bit is fine. Enter a SSID unique to your desires 9Just name it something you like) and the generate the keys there'll be for rows of key number and letters remember the first row because you'll need it to log on next time you want to join you new network. There is a checkbox so that the key will be remembered so that you won't have to re-enter it every time you join your network. It'll do it automatically but no one outside of your two computer will get in. Tada!

Answer

You need: ethernet card cable cat5 4 port hub

Put the ethernet card in the computer. Then connect the cables from both computers to the hub and then from the cable modem to the hub. That should do it.

Answer

if you both want to be able to use the internet access, then the easiest way is purchase a network card(ethernet), some CAT5 cable(as previously mentioned), and a router(linksys, d-link, etc). first install the network card in the machine without one. then connect the cable modem to the routers WAN port, it should be labeled that. then in ports 2 and 3, use the CAT5 cable to connect to the yours and your partners computers. after that follow the instructions in the routers manual on final configurations(should be mostly automatic), and you're done.

Answer

While wireless is a great, inexpensive, and easy way to network, its speed and throughput is limited (56kbps-108kbps on average for 'turbo mode' links). So you could use the 1 gigabit ethernet copper wire solution (1000kbps) and get more potential speed, but if you have enterprise grade servers on a business campus say, buildings apart, that need more speed and throughput than 1Gb ethernet can provide, you can connect your servers using 10GbE fiberoptic links, using 10GbE fiber PCIe cards. The IEEE standard for 1000base-LX (long range) fiber is about 5km distance, and the 1000base-SX (short range) fiber can reach around 550m distance using the larger diameter 50 micron fiber. Keep in mind that most people's average computer uses a PCI bus for add-in cards, and the regular 32-bit PCI bus is not even fast enough to keep up with true 1Gb speeds, so that is why they only make the 10GbE cards to fit computers with PCIe buses on the motherboards. The rest of the computer needs to be pretty beefy too, in order to even be able to run even near the speeds that the network card is capable of.
