Cheapest and easiest route:
1) Go to Home Depot, purchase 'n' 1" by 12' sections of PVC pipe, 
sufficient to reach from point A to point B, plus 'n-1' connectors.
2) Tape ethernet cable to end of one section of pipe. Tape over the end 
of the pipe to avoid scooping dirt, spiders etc into pipe.
3) Slide section under house, from Point A in direction of Point B,
4) Add pipe connector fitting to back end of section
5) Secure next section in connector, push under house.
6) Repeat steps 3 through 5 until pipe emerges at Point B.
7) Remove tape and ethernet cable from pipe at Point B. Secure cable to 
house
8) Retrieve pipe sections and connectors at Point A. Secure cable to house.
9) Go to Home Depot, purchase^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h return 'n' 1" by 12' 
sections of PVC pipe, sufficient to reach from point A to point B, plus 
'n-1' connectors.

Very cheap. Use 1" pipe as much more rigid than 1/2" or 3/4" pipe.
