Hello all: I'm connecting 4 houses to a satellite broadband feed thru a
D-Link DI 604. The cable runs will be 275ft, 190ft, 170ft, 120ft. Cable
is cat5e flooded. Will this setup work ok?

CAT5E cable length between switch and nic is 100 meters max, but I'm not sure
you can take that as a guarantee of success. It will probably work.

But...are you running these cables between buildings (ie: not common-wall) or
just running it through a single common building? If the former, have you
considered going wireless with directional antennae? It could be preferable to
stringing an aerial/lightning-attractor connected to your network...
