My neighbour has just installed a wireless 802.11g/b network. I have a
Dlink MR814v2 wireless router in my house, that is routing two PCs.
Assuming the range is sufficient, how can I connect my router to the
internet via my neighbours wireless network? Do I need a bridge into my
MR814v2 router? Will both PC's still work then?

First question would be, "Does your neighbor know, and approve"? I will
ignore the issue of sharing Internet service between customer premises;
though most ISPs explicitly prohibit the practice.
Assuming that you have your neighbor's approval, you will need to know the
security settings he has set up in order to affiliate with his network. You
will also need to identify his gateway IP address, because that will also be
your gateway. Also, it will be simplest to join his LAN on his network IP
address; maintaining separate subnets can be done, though. I don't have the
expertise to describe how; maybe somebody else can.
