It depends on lots of factors. Your best bet is to force your computer
nic to 10mbit half duplex. Your very best bet is to not use a switch
but use two computer nics talking to each other in 10mbit half duplex.
The main question is why the limitations? My guess is you need it done
cheap (under $50) right?
If you have a little more money you could try point to point wirless.
this will probably cost you around $150 and have a max speed of 8 mbit
or so depending on what equipment you buy.
If you have alot more money, lookinto multi mode fiber, or long range
ethernet, or dsl.

Pluggers,
What's the longest Cat5e cable you have run from your ethernet switch
to a computer? I have a link that may require about 200 meters, but I
know that 802.3 says 100 meters is the max. Repeaters of any kind are,
unfortunately, not an option for this installation. Can I increase the
distance by getting a GigE switch?
