is it possible for my mom and i to share a wireless connection from 5 miles away?

Yes it is possible with the right antennas.  5 miles is outside of the yagi antenna range so you will have to go to a parabolic antenna.  There are a few regulatory hurdles to get over since you will likely exceed 1 watt radiated.  Check out the link for details.

YOU HAVE TO BE WITHIN A CERTAIN RANGE OF A CELL TOWER. IF YOU ARE TOO MANY MILES AWAY, YOU WILL NOT HAVE A SIGNAL.  MANY PEOPLE THAT LIVE OUT IN THE COUNTRY CAN'T EVEN USE CELL PHONES/

Easy answer is NO\n\nYou may try to build VPN to other computer where you have full access, but it won't be easy.

Simply your best bets are as:\n\n1. Wireless HighSpeed via a cell service like sprint or verizon.\n\n2. Broadband connection via 802.11a,b,g,n from a hotspot\n\n3. Satellite service\n\n\n1 and 3 will work almost anywhere including on the road.\n\n2 will only work were there is a stationary hotspot.

If you're not getting strong enough signal to your Wireless USB you might want to look into a 802.11g Range Extender. Because it's a powered unit it has the power to pull signal in from further distances and then repeats it out to the area around it.\nI have one and it works like a charm for extending my network. I've given you links below for the types of devices I'm talking about. You can pick them up at CompUSA stores here in the states and at other stores locally. They run between $80 and $100 USD

Set one up for her on your computer...if you have highspeed why don't you buy a router and hook her computer to the same internet as you.

well if you are planning on doing it without their permission i would then have to ask, if you can't afford internet how will you afford a lawyer?  if you do have their permission, get a wireless router.

You can purchase something to extend the distance of your wireless network.

yes you would if you have your own internet portal. there is another way. if your neighbor as a wireless router, then you would probably be able to use THEIR internet but the internet would belong to your neighbor.\ni guarantee this the best answer

In theory yes, but it's a lot of work. You need to create a wireless bridge between the network and your router. I think this can only be done if you know all the network settings.

Get a wireless router.  Use the laptops wifi connection.

Yes, maybe\n\n1> if they have a hotspot (wireless internet) and you have a wireless antenna in you laptop\n\n2> if you get cellular reception and have a PC card to log on over a satalite service like EDGE

probably there are service providers in your area that can offer you WiFi connections across those 10kms with no complexity.\nIf you are trying to do it by yourself, you will need microwave antenas aligned in a careful way at every point which you want to provide conectivity and repeaters, so wireless users can detect those signals

no, you need a wifi Access point, ie. a wifi router. \ngo to http://www.tigerdirect.com/

you might look into getting a Virtual Private Network.  It's a secure, internet based technology where you can connect between PCs in different locations.
