Well, with this fine weather, it must be time to get the spade out and start digging a ditch from the house to the garage and bury a couple of lengths of PVC or alkathene pipe and then run a couple of lengths of Cat5e cable through one of the pipes...
:-) it's on the todo list. Anyone have any gotchas about doing this?
This is just from what I've read, and you probably know it anyway, but just in case... Try not to run parallel to power cables, or if you must, you'll have to look at shielded cable. According to the specs for Cat5e cable it'll run for 100m lengths at 100Mbit speeds, but it's different for Gigabit speeds, but generally if you think you might have more than 50m from computer to router/switch/hub/repeater/other computer and you want reliable Gigabit, you may want to opt for Cat6, otherwise Cat5e should be fine. -- Cameron
