My buddy and I live about .75 miles apart. We both have cable connection with linksys 802.11g wireless routers. We are in plain site of each others house. What we would like to do is get a wifi antenna for each house, bridge our connection, and share on network. Is this possible? What equipment would we need or recommend and is there any other info that we should have or know? Thanks

I suggest looking into VPN...or...uh...walking to each other's houses. ;-)

D-Link has an external AP that with the right antenna will broadcast for miles...and they are not in violation of FCC rules...
