Hi again

Another question on another topic.

For the network experts out their. I have a wired leg off a wireless 
router running Cat 5e cable. I seem to have a lag on a section which is 
100 foot long but it's in two 50 foot sections. I'm wondering as to the 
possible chance the lag is caused by the 100 foot length as being to 
long and thus a signal loss? I don't know for sure how long is too long 
on Cat 5e. Also if it is the length, would putting a switch in the 
middle help or make things worse. The lag might also be caused by the 
computer using the on-board LAN (on the motherboard). I do have a 3-com 
(pci) card I can install if using the on-board LAN might be the problem.

Thanks
