What you need to check is Ohms.
Tell me what you get on the meter when you check this. If they are high, then you are probably degrading the signal to nothing by the time it gets to the other end. I am using well over 25 feet of cat5 cable and have no problems. Of course I am using a 5 port linksys hub and not using a crossover cable. I can't say for sure, but maybe my hub is boosting the signal.
