Me and a friend who lives over the road to me want to setup a wireless network between our houses. There is a direct line of site between us although his house is on an angle but still there is a line of site.

What equipment do we need? I know were going to need some sort of access point at each end but do not know which one is going to be best. My house will be the main one with the main server but he also wishes to connect it up which is no problem but not sure of what hardware I need. I need something which will be secure, I presume MAC address filtering is the best option but someone correct me on this.

Please let me know which equipment we are going to need so we can purchase it and get it up and running as soon as we can. By the way I am on XP and he is on 98 although looking at upgrading soon as his computer has almost had it.

Thanks.
