Networking to a garden shed

Hi,

My neighbour has just built a garden shed and wishes to setup a pc with internet in the shed. My obvious suggestion was wireless however they already have this but do not pick it up down in the shed (approx 30m from the house). Therefore i think the best setup would be to run an ethernet cable from the wireless router to the pc - is this the best way?

I was looking at just buying a 30m crossover cable, will this work?

I have already sorted how i'm going to lay the cable - my problem is choosing the appropriate cable for linkin the router and the pc.

If a crossover cable is not the correct lead which is, i need to link the router ethernet ports to the pc ethernet port? If I do this I should be able to get internet on the pc, no?

cheers for the quick response. I have looked online for 'ethernet cable' but there seems to be no results for this term, to the cables have a more technical term which i should be searching for? Furthermore is it possible to link to cables? I doubt there wil be a long enough single cable.

The shed already has an underground channel through which sky, power and telephone cables are already running - the cable will simply be added to this.

EDIT:

Just seen this, is it the correct cable
