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?

Wireless is the best route, outdoor cabling is prone to lightning induction which can blow the hardware on each end. If the wireless Router has a visible sightline to the shed it should work fine without any additional antennas, you should be able to achieve distances over 60M if there are no obstacles in the way. Try placing the antenna in a window looking out at the shed.
