My church has two buildings with 6 PCs in building 1 and 3 PCs in building 2. In building 1 we have a Linksys BEFSR81 10/100 8 port router. I ran about 240 feet of cat-5 cable to building 2 and have an old Linksys 10/ hub. When they are hooked up everything works but the data tranfer rate is very slow. I got a linksys EZXS55W 10/100
5 port switch but when I replace the old 10 speed hub with the new switch nothing works. [ I have the cat-5 cable pluged into the uplink port of the switch but I also tried pluging it into a numbered port. ] The PCs say low connectivty and we can't connect to the network. I can't make the cat-5 cable any shorter but the book says it is good for 328 feet. should I try useing a router in building 2 instead of a switch and if so how do I configer it ? If not - any other ideas
