Ok, first of all I want to apologise for my english. Although I consider it to be good enough to communicate, there are certain words that I don't really know in english... so I will take my best guess at them. With that out of the way, here comes the trouble.


This is going to be a Hardware only question.
Ok, the situation is the following: I have two laptops at home and two desktops at the office. Now.. home and the office are like 100 feet apart.

I need to share an internet connection and to make a LAN or actually a WAN between the two locations. The laptops have both wireless cards (one is integrated, the other PCMCIA) and at the office I have the internet connection and the wireless router.

I changed one of the router's antenas with a parabolic dish, pointing at home at 2.4GHz. This, in theory, should work... now, for some reason the signal is too weak in the computers at home.... making it impossible to even browse the web. I first thought it was distance, but researching a little bit, the parabolic dish I'm using has a range of like 1000 feet... so there should be no loss under 100.

The only thing out of order I noticed is that while there are over 180TX (transferred packages) there are none RX. So that makes me wonder if there actually is a problem with this tecnology.

Web research showed nothing on the problem I am experimenting, or perhaps I'm a lousy searcher... anyway, I would greatly appreciate any help you could give me.


TIA.
