Almost immediately after installing .NET v2.0 I began experiencing weird stuff. 1. When connecting to a newsgroup (alt.christian.lifestyle of course) it took three attempts, 1 each on three different "religous" newsgroups before I could connect. 2. System acted like it was busy doing something when it shouldn't have (file manager would freeze and take 4-5 minutes before activity would resume.

I thought I had some spyware or something. I removed .NET today, and this PC is running normal again.

I also received the router and a huge pile of PC components today. Hopefully, by weeks end, I'll be playing on the new system, my brother playing on this old one (upgraded), and my son doing whatever 14 y.o.'s do on his new one. (hope it's the right newsgroups) :)

Check the longer cable, sounds though it might be bad.
Maybe cables in the incorrect order, or a bad connection.

bad longer cable i bet or cable strands wired wrong or routor setup wrong

Ive got a 50 foot going from my gateway/routor ----- to Deshy's pc (switch here) then anouther 50 off to the Little Roo's room  (his is crossed ) and they work great .
