I've set up a small LAN at home, with CAT 5 cable, Kingston KNE110 NICs and a small Kingston SOHO hub, the problem is both PCs are about 150 feet apart, the Hub is located about 25 to 30 feet away from the first PC and 100-115 feet from the second; I can see both PCs in the Neighborhood, but when I try to access the remote PC, my local one freezes up.<br>Sometimes I can access and browse around but when i try copying files it freezes up again. I'm wondering if it's the small hub that doesn't support long distances. What else could it be? Would appreciate some pointers.<br>Thanks. <br><br><br>P.S.:<br>The PCs are:<br>1.-Pentium 166, 32Mb RAM, 8 Gb HDD<br>2.-Pentium II 266, 48 Mb RAM, 6 Gb HDD
