Connecting two Computers

[sujithtom]

I have a friend living about 4kms from my place. We want to connect our computers. It should not be through Internet or Telephone lines. Any Ideas??? Please tell me how..

P.S. It must be cheap and fast

[pradeep_chauhan]

sure lot of ideas what is the ammount you have in mind. Based on the amount you can use FSO solutions to wireless point to point conection to satalilite based link.
name the price nothing in this wold is for free baby.

the only way feasible is thru the net and telephone lines
u cant wifi it ... cuz 4kms is too much
ofcourse u can get permission from the government ... dig the road for 4 kms and run an optical cable between the 2 places and u can set up a local lan !!
yipppiieee !!

[sujithtom]

Nice joke. I will have to dig a river too Well I don't want to spend more than Rs 5000 on it. Well NO MONTHLY CHARGES!!

myn freind is about 1 km far what do i do?

[club_pranay]

the best, cheap option is through telphone-modem connection(dial-up)

reply if u want the settings

Ask your friend to shift next door.

ha ha.. even cable wiring cost for 4 kms inc diggin wud cost more than 5k ..!

Forget the idea...
the sooner the better
coz theres no use regreting the fact tht nothing suites ur budget n even if it does its not worth it.
if u wann it for transferring files then use cd writers ;
if u wann it for playing games then tell him to bring his pc next to u every weekend;
if u want it for sahring ur internet connection then pay separetely for your ISP which is always less than ur budget

[pr@k@sh]

I Fully Agree with Sourabh

becoz

distance is 4 KMS ..!!

and ur prize limit is 5000/- so that is not possible..!!

[sujithtom]

Well how will i connect 2 coputers with one living next door

[theraven]

hmm well u can run a cat5 cable from balcony to balcony
id suggest wireless lan ... but it wont give a good performance between houses

get broadband connection and go for vpn , i think thats the setup which might work .

if anyone here using vpn or wireless , please explain how u set it up , including limitations and speed of data transfer and distance in case of wireless

a cross over cable with two ethernet cards will give you a 100 MBPS connection total cost
2x NIC cards = 2x400=800/-
UTP CAT 5 @ Rs 11 per m = 550/-
RJ45 x 2 @ Rs 5/-
Crimping Rs 20/-
TOTAL 1380/-

How can I setup a wireless connection. O.K I will make it clear I have heard of all those Wi-Fi stuffs but don't know how it works. Is it like an internet connection??? mean is there something like theres ISP in Internet or is it available for everyone. Is it available in Kerala?????
