lan cable - signal strength..?
in my intranet - build on cables - all pc's have instant and promt lan browsing- and external capability..
except for one - which is a bit slower..
is it possible to enhance the signal through the cable..?
(i suspect the cable to the slow pc is just a few meters too long)

the length of a cable will have no relation to the speed of a signal, as long at it's less than 100 metres, you'll be fine.

Other factors can influence the signal passing through the cable too. For instance if the cable is picking up a lot of EMI somewhere along its path it could cause problems. Check to make sure the cable isn't passing through florecent lights, electrical wiring, etc.
