Hi guys

Im thinking about setting up a wireless network between my house and two friends.
My question is what exactly will i need to to this, both cheaply and securely?

I have thought about the 802.11b USB wireless adaptors for both client laptops, which cost around £80 each but i am unsure as to what the host laptop (mine) would need, in order to make this network work effiently.

The range from my house to both me friends would be around 1400 feet.

Any suggestions on products, set up information and prices is greatly appreciated.

Cheers guys
