I am currently feeding 10 machines via a combination of ethernet network and dual 802.11b access points (one Netgear ME102, one DLink piece-of-sh!t 614+). I'm trying to get another person access to the system, and I'm having a problem. She is located about 600 ft away, and there are two trees and a large apartment building (45-50ft of obstruction ... lead paint was used in construction for extra "nuke your neighbor" shielding, joy of joys) between us. She has an 8dB antenna on her end, and I'm wondering if it was possible to set up a 24dB antenna on my end and "pound a signal" through the intervening building. Is this possible with a directional setup? I'm tempted to give up on getting her on, but I'm also VERY stubborn. Does anybody have a recommendation?
