Accually it depends how far you are talking. You might be able to get NICs with external antena hookups and set the antena outside of the house to get connected IF it is not that far. If it is too far for that then you could make directional antena out of pringle cans but will let you know that doing this is illegal accourding to the FCC. ;(

I bought one and installed it between 2 buildings, took only a few hours to install and works perfectly. Here's a link to an ebay auction with the entire kit, which is both radios, antennas, cables, power adapters, etc...

Let me know if you need any help, there's actually not much to it.
