So is mine - The cable is tied to the bottom of the fence railing for most
of its length, but where its exposed I have put electrical conduit.

Its rude, but it was cheap.  And by the time the sheltered UTP gets damaged
there'll be something faster and better or I will have moved.

Personally, I find wireless slow and unreliable.  I certainly wouldn't use
it unless I had to.  Get stuck in with a spade and trench to the garage :)))

Yes, but my garage is separate from the house.

Although, as somebody (whom I can't now remember) helpfully pointed out,
because my ADSL modem has (as well as a firewall and switch) 802.11g
wireless, I can still a server in the garage as long as I get a PCI wireless
card for it (about $50-$70 on trademe).
