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?

Yes
but dont use a cross over - a normal straight cable should be OK from PC to Router
I suggest you try the cable and get it working in the house before you lay the cable
then you know it all works before you start...
How are you going to lay the cable

you should get 30M OK - I have a 20M cable with noproblem - just looked at website - they have 30M there
Make sure you get a cable thats terminated with the plugs - the link looks just like a cable - however, looking at spec - it does say gold connectors

a decent compute rstore may even make you one up
i would avoid any joins if you can
