What are my options

by deanrd . Updated 21 years, 3 months ago

I have a small business on the side and want to share my internet connection (cable), files and printers. I have two seperated buildings and the location of the computers puts them about 300 ft. apart. What are my best options for connecting them? I thought of locating a router far enough from one computer to reduce the distance between the router and computer to under 300 ft. Is it cost effective to run Cat5 cable those distances or would a wireless solution work? Securing a wireless network with file and printer sharing bothers me too. Any help would be appreciated.
