Very interesting thread and some great replies. Thank you so much for responding, you guys have a wealth of data.
On 2nd thought it is probably less than 70 metres and more like 40-45. I think I'll measure it.
Wired seems preferable perhaps with a surge protector in case of lighting in summer.
20 metres of the 40 would be under the house which has easy access, so its only about 15 metres from the house to the wall of the observatory.
My wireless digital phone works in the observatory but the reception is a bit so so. There's a bit of a test.
If I do wireless then all I need is a wireless hub plugged into the observatory computer USB. Do I need to set anything else on the observatory computer? Do I set up a wireless network with the house controlling computer?
I downloaded Tightvnc and checked the remote settings on the house computer.
Does it matter the house computer is Windows Vista or Windows 7 and the observatory computer XP?
Thanks in advance. There's a lot of knowledge here on this topic.
Greg.
