Thanks for all of the responces so far.
Also sorry for not getting back to everybody else's repsonces right away. I have to go across the street to check email and I don't get a chance to do that every day

I had read through that posting the other night....very good stuff but nothing regarding one brand over another.
A couple of questions will help us give you the best advice.
1) Do you have 'line of sight' between the two buildings?
Yes
2) How far apart are the buildings?
Approximately 150-200 feet apart.
3) Do you want to connect two seperate LANs, or create one "wireless network" between the buildings?
4) Are you going to use the WLAN for gaming, broadband internet, simple file sharing etc?
Connect two small LANs for a little bit of all three in #4.
5) What is your budget?
Depends....would I be better off going with .g over .b due to the distance between the two buildings. Personally I want to go with g but the other party involved seems to be content with b. I'm just concerned that by going with b our transfer rate isn't going to be as good as using g.
My personal recommendation is for Linksys, if for no other reason that it is highly rated, supports WPA (the latest and currently unbroken wireless security standard) and is very easy to setup.
Of course, if you have the cash, go out and buy some Cisco Aironet stuff instead!
