You can get two wireless routers and use one as the router the other as a bridge. See here: http://thisisfanzoo.com/blog/archive/2005/02/12/488.aspx

I hope 25 mts stands for 'meters' and not minutes.

Using a cable is going to be the best solution. You can do wireless, but it could be expensive.

Is your router wireless? If it is, your neighbor can add a wireless bridge to his router. His router will need to have DHCP turned off and this setup may require an additional directional antenna because signal strength will probably be very poor.

25 meters is 82 feet and std precut cat-5
cables are 50, 100 feet. I paid ~ $0.75/ft USD.

Also to be considered, is the necessity to bury the cable inside an enclosure
to protect it from the weather --- more $$$. Cable would be the best performance and reliability, but it's a push as to which solution
would be the least expensive.

That's true. You're going to pay more for outdoor line than indoor line (which runs quite a bit cheaper, but really isn't up to the job).

I'm still thinking of the potential cost of having to set up two directional antennas for a stable signal and then invest in a wireless bridge... That's easily a few hundred dollars. But, that could be lowered by investing in some make-shift cantennas and a cheap wireless access point with bridging capabilities.

But either way its going to cost $$$. You might want to talk the other guy into investing in $15/mo DSL from SBC/ATT or Verizon.
