Just recently, I have become interested in Linux and Server-ing (i guess you could call it that ). I have an old box that used to run Windows XP, and I plan to install Debain on it and run an apache, mysql, imap, ftp and vnc server off it. However it is rather noisy, and it would ideal to have it based down at the cowshed, a good 300m from the house. We have a computer down at the cowshed, connected to the modem at the house though a wireless bridge, that is essentially a super wifi booster. Now the question is, how may I connect the old computer (the one mentioned at the start) to the house so both computers have an IP (so no internet sharing). I have an old Dlink DIR-300 that I possibly could put dd-wrt on. PS: If possible, without having to buy anything - I know I could just buy a wireless card for the server box, just like the cowshed computer
