neighbors sharing connection

I've done a lot of reading and a lot of googling and if there is a FM,
then I've RTFM. I still have some questions.

My neighbor (maybe 50 ft away, fences, plaster walls, etc) has Comcast
cable modem (we live in Oregon). I have slow DSL. We want to share her
Comcast. I need to make a VPN connection to my office. I don't want her
on my network. I don't want to be on her network.

Please let me know if there is a better solution, or if I've left out
any pertinent info.

www-> cablemodem-> BEFSR41-> WRT54G (to my house, with antenna)
-> WRT54G (her house)

(my house) wireless signal-> WAP54G (as repeater, with antenna)
-> desktop with pci card
-> laptop
-> 2nd desktop with pci card

Can the WAP54G be set up to both repeater the wifi signal as well as
allow a wired connection? If possible, I would like to spare that
second desktop's pci card and wire it to the WAP54G directly.

Is a D-Link DWLM60AT antenna good for the WRT54G pointing to my house?
There's no hope for shooting it through a window or any kind of LOS.
I'm just going to have to blast through the walls in a straight line.
And I suppose I should get an omni antenna for the WAP54G in my house -
recommendations?

Thanks much,
NAT

When range is an issue, the PreN routers all beat the G routers hands down.
Belkin seems to get a lot of raves for its preN.
