It's almost a certain that the out building will be on a different ring circuit to the house so won't work with any kind of speed.

You say running a cable is impossible, is there no fence or wall a cable could be tacked to?

Special cable for outside?

Proper way: cable and access point.

I wouldn't bother with a wireless link but the above suggestions might be fine.

Yea, this seems the best way. Which access point would one recommend?

Ok, about £30 would suffice. Which cable as it needs to be approx 110ft in length. Thanks

^ Not very helpful - are you suggesting koolpc terminates the cable himself?

110 ft is about 30 m, I would grab a 30 m run ready made, search ebay for something like "30m external cat5e", some good looking cables on there for around £10. (Longer is fine if you want to play it safe, up to about 100 m.)

Awesome as i would not want to terminate the cable. If i had to i would give it a go though but much prefer ready made cable.
