I'm hoping to ask the pros in this group to help me figure an unusual problem out. I have over 6 yrs experience in tpcip networking and cat5 cabling. I have a small business and cat5 network on a daily basis...
Ok with that said the problem I'm having is running a brand new cat5 cable out to my work shed on my property that is only 70 feet away from my 3com 24 port router. I already have several other workstations in the house that are plugged into the router via external wires. They are on the network and I can ping them whenever needed...
The line to my shed... I made up the wire. Tested the wire before I moved the new computer to the shed. Worked great.
Moved the new computer to the shed. hooked up the wire. Can't ping Cant Access at all...
Ok... I have to run over a 5ft chain link fence...
I've tried all of the possibilities short of digging a ditch and can not figure this out... Maybe the shed has an open electrical field??
Any Ideas...Suggestions??
Thanks
