need 4 internet - WiFi troubles & evil plotting

P.S. Elephant picture is wrong, since there's a laptop on image. Otherwise I'd replace elephant with a pine tree.

Clearly that is not an elephant. It's the Snuffleupagus! Geeze.

Don't have anything useful to say except I've recently discovered Time-Warner's evil internet plotting...apparently their modems register one (and only one) computer MAC address. So even with a different computer hard wired to the thing it doesn't work without having to mask the true MAC address. Since we presently don't have a wireless router I had to do this to get my Xbox 360 online.

Good luck on your routing/rebroadcasting/invisible hard wiring!

Well, I plan to go for a scouting trip to my countryside tomorrow and bring a laptop with me. And 2,5m USB extender.
Also tinfoil... lot's of it

If I can try out reception here and there and maybe some DIY directional antennae/reflectors, I would have a clearer picture of what to do next.

But if all fails...
...there's a tavern with internet connection next door. Maybe with a little sum and about 50m long network cable things would turn out even better.

Not sure where would I acquire the cable though. My vacation is a week away so there's time to get ready.
