My suggestions, having run about 25m cat 6 cables to an observatory:
1. Run two cat 6 cables - inside PVC piping (to keep water out). If one ever dies you have a fall over with no hassles to dig around. If there is ever a connection fault that is hard to trace - hvaing a spare cable makes it quick to see if its the physical line, the network card - the TCP/IP stack being corrupted.
2. Inside your house - run the cables into a gigabit switch. You never know when you might wish to have more connections options - like if you add a NAS or two or just want to connect multiple desktops or laptops. The switch gives you options.
3. I like VNC server (astolab PC) and client (home PCs) as very decent control software for a remote PC.
Cheers, Matt
