There is metal siding on the house, and the upstairs bedroom is in a half story, so the roof slants on two sides of it, plus the room itself has an inside wall. The side with a window is away from the outback room.
As suggested, going to give wireless-g a whirl. The computer in the bedroom is only used every now and then. If you draw a straight line from the outback computer (ground floor) to the upstairs bedroom, diagonally, it would probably be 25-30 feet.
From the info on your posts, this should not be a great distance to overcome. In any event, connecting at 20~30Mbps instead of 54Mbps should be the heck of a lot better than dial-up!!
If the cable (by the outback computer which is used the most) is connected to the modem, and the modem is connected to a wireless router, would only need a wireless PCI card upstairs in the bedroom, right?
