I kind of figured something along those lines.

You can't change the way it is...it must stay this way. Do whatever you
have to do (get a longer cable for instance) in order to keep things the
way they are.

Here is a solution for you. Note that the <new switch> has ONLY the ISP
cable, and the gateway cable plugged into it AND NOTHING ELSE.

A new switch may cost only about $40USD, but not only will it work the
same, but it will allow you to put the gateway in your other room:

          <down the street>
                |
                |
           <home switch>-----------<neighbor>
                |
                |
        <cable from home switch,
         that also goes to ISP>
                |
                |
            <new switch>
                |
                |
                |
                |
                |
                |
        <long cable that goes to room
          far, far away>
                |
                |
                |
                |
            x.x.88.20
            <gateway>
           192.168.1.2
                |
                |
           <room switch>
                /|\     
              /  |  \
            /    |    \
        <pc>    <pc>  <pc>
192.168.1.5     .6      .7

Cheers. I'm glad it worked out for you! :)
