Jim, there is alot to consider.
1. you can switch house (1) access mode from Infrastructure mode which allows clients to access the AP, to ADHOC. this will allow the house (1) to piggy back on house (2) network. but this it not what you want.
2. put in wireless bridging, These products, such as Linksys' WET11, and Hawking's WB320, but this will allow everyone from one house. these might be a cost issue. about $90 for each.
3. the best way to network for games that will not compromise network security, is to allow the users from house (1) to access the wireless network of house (2). Allow these user to connect to the domain. if the houses are that close, then each user should not have a problem.
thats my two cents

All:
How can one BEST connect the LANs in two nearby house together,
specifically? What is the networking schema or how does the routing
work. The teenagers want to network LAN games like AGE OF EMPIRES
across the two house/LANs.
House A has a 192.168.x.x standard setup with Netgear wireless router
House B has a 10.10.x.x fairly standard numbering schema with Netgear
wired router.
I assume two Ethernet bridge will make the connection nicely.
What other challenges will be faced? I've only worked in a one router
domain and I'm not an IT guy so any advice is appreciated.
Thanks, Jim
