I currently purchased a Netgear wireless router. I connected 2 computers (desktop, not laptop) to the internet with it (using the Netgear installation CD

). Internet was working on both computers, then I tried to setup a network between them. I just don't understand why the second computer blinks RED (10 mbps) and not GREEN (100 mbps) on the router. Might it have something to do with the cable lenght? because it's pretty far away, in another room.
Also, when I attempt to transfer large files (about 400 megs) throught the "Network Places", it begins to transfer saying 208 mins left(!) and after a small while a message pops up something like this: "The directory on the network is not found".
Thanks in advance.
