[SLUG] OK, general networking question...

  I'm planning on setting up a wireless network between 2 trailers, only 3
lots away from each other, because we can't bury any lines here. (Yup,
white trailer trash techo geek: dog on the porch, shotgun in the rack, and a
server in the closet. Ain't my momma proud of me... ) I've got 8 systems
currently on a DSL modem, behind a Linksys router, and I want to protect
them from anyone wardriving or neighbors who might bootleg off my bandwidth.
She'll have 3 systems on her end.

  What are your opinions about how I should go? Should I put the first
wireless router between my router and the DSL modem, and a second wireless
router on her end, connecting all her systems. Ithat even possible to do it
that way? Obviously, we'll need external antennas (coffee can horns are
tempting, just to maintain the theme, if nothing else), because of the
trailers acting as Faraday cages. I'm a novice here, so what are your
thoughts on the subject?

  Thanks ahead, James

(Hmm, sounds like a bad country song. "Livin' mah life in a Faraday Cage
without you"...)
