If it's not a long term setup just run it without any conduit at all. Just protect the ends. In my experience Cat5 will last a couple of years in the weather before you run into problems. I work as a Sys Admin and we just recently had a cable failure in a "temporary" cable that was litterally swinging in the wind for 3 years.

Just cut the hose along its lenght with a stanley knife, slip in the cable and then wrap the duct tape around it.

Have you thought about wireless. The latest wireless stuff is fast (802.11g for those tecky dweebs like me). A wireless router will cost around $120-140 and wireless cards are pretty cheap.
I've got solid sandstone internal walls and the wireless stuff works a treat and saved me a great deal of heart ache trying to lay cable through and around the sandstone walls.
