Trouble with Linksys Router (autonegoatiation)

I've got a gigabit linksys router (SD2005) with about 60'-70' of CAT5e cable
between it and my computer (tried several different machines, all get same
result).

When I plug in the comptuter, I dont get a connection, but the indicator
light on the LinkSys slowly flashes on and off.

I found this on the LinkSys site:

http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/...i=&p_topview=1

This works, but I dont want to have to operate at 10 Mbps. Everything I
have read tells me that 70' of cable should not be too much. I've tried
some other hubs (older Linksys) which get the same result.

What other variables could be causing this? The wire is brand new and just
laid - could other devices or wiring be degrading the signal?

Anything???

Thanks - dan

I ran into this on a Linksys BEFSR41 v3 Router with a Dell Notebook. I installed a Xircom
(RE-100) 10/100 Mb/s PCMCIA card in the notebook and the problem was solved. Try another
NIC in the computer (different make and model all together). If that doesn't work, replace
the Router.
