Is this possible??

I want to be able to set a wlan up from work to my home.

I can see town from my home and its all flat the only problem is that there are buildings in the way of my line of site, although I can see Somes Is which has a wireless lan antenna (or so i've heard) on top of it.

Anyway My home is approx 2km north of my work.

Is it possible (in some shape of form) to have an Antenna with a big mother of an amp attached to it to broadcast the correct frequency 2km's to my house which I assume would need another antenna with a big mother of a amp attached to it.

Reason I want to do this is 1) im very interested in this wireless stuff
and 2) my work has unlimited 100mb/s citylink that i wish to take advantage of.

My boss has said that it is ok for me to use the citylink connection if i can somehow connect from home.

2Km is a prety short distance for mose of the stock 802.11 wireless geat, depending on what you budget is i could provide you with the whole solution including antennas

A couple of the guys have managed to use my antennas to do a 10km shoot using standard gear with no additional amps.

The way i would do it is to set up an outdoor Access Point on your work network with ethernet going down to connect it in to the network. the AP would be connected to a sloted waveguide in vertical mode so as to reduce the noise and increase the security.

at home you would have much the same setup except it would be in client mode. Prety simple as long as you have LINE OF SIGHT!

And if i dont have line of site?

is there anyway round that?

Put the antenna up higher

There are a couple of ways around it, some work better than others but LOS is certinly better is you can get it.

Best way to check is stand on either the roof of your home or work and take pictures with the digital camera. the decide from there.
Other factors also need to be taken into account like the area and how many other wifi/similar devices are runing that may impact the signal.

What area is it in?

I'll draw it on a map and take some photos and then you'll get a better picture.
