I have made a workgroup of three computers in win 98 with wingate on a computer for connecting other two pcs to internet. The problem I am facing is that the pc named sub1 when shifted on a 30 ft cat v cable from a 10 feet cable has gone almost dead.When network neighbourhood is opened the pcs take a very long time say 15/20 minutes to get connected.

The protocols installed are tcp/ip and netbeui with following ip addresses:

192.168.100.1 (main with wingate)
192.168.100.2 (sub)
192.168.100.3 (sub1)

Are all the lights on your hub on? Have you tested the 30' cable? What happens when you shift back to the old cable? I'm not familiar with Wingate so I can't offer any advice there. If all your protocols are the same I would lean towards some hardware like the new cable.
