Part of the pipes ay nakalubog sa ilalim ng lupa, some What do you mean doubled the ethernet cable? You have one on stand-by, or do you mean you have two cables in parallel for the connection? If you did the secound, I suggest that you revert to the first one. Doing the second one is bad because: 1. Unless you your able has exactly the same length and same twisting rate (for the pairs inside), then the cables will be out of sync (or out of phase). You'll get some signal loss here. The signal from the other might have some considerable amount of lag. This is compunded by the fact that you're using a long connection and there are several terminations (the switches). 2. Using two cables in parallel will change characteristic impedance of the cable. This, again, will affect the signal. Also, in addition to using putting the cables on pipes, you should also use shielded-cabling to further reduce losses due to electro-magnetic interference. If this is not available, then you should try using steel pipes instead of PVC. -- Gideon N. Guillen [EMAIL PROTECTED] Take back the web!
