Is it possible to create a LAN from a WAN. E.g my brother lives across the 
road from me and has broadband from BT he has a wireless router and I can 
access it from the front of my house but not the back of my house. My 
question is, can I buy a device that I can put in the front of my house, put 
in his WEP key and then hard wire from this device to create a LAN in my 
house. I hope this makes sense and if so what is the best set up.

This is a typical reply that I expected from a F**king dick head. Is it a no 
wonder that newsgroups are getting less and less popular with people opting 
for subscribed forums instead because of stupid replies by wanke*s like you

Is there really any need for this sort of reply to a genuine question
one is compelled to be a cheapskate to survive in this country to day
in the present economic climate which has been created by this totally
useless government that couldn't run a booze up in a brewery . 
If I can get something legally without having to spend money  that I
would also .

SH failure?

Yes,you can.

No, it won;t be brilliant a s bandwidth will tend to be restricted, and 
the cost of the gear and installation will probably be as much as a 
years broadband subscription.

But the OP will have to spend more money for less bandwidth and reliability.

unexplained reason:

...and where did the OP say he wanted to use his bothers broadband?

Maybe he wants to share files between the two properties.
Or maybe use his brothers broadband as a backup to his broadband, in case it 
goes down (and vice-versa)?


...Just a thought...
