So are you getting messages saying your cable is disconnected? This could be down to speed/ duplex autonegotiation issues. Hard code both your PC and your router to 100Mb Full duplex or 10Mb half duplex. Check if your PC supports 10/100 and also your router. The other thing to check is the cable. Ensure that it is CAT5 or above.

hello. same issue has been answered before . it the autonegotiation that you network card does by default. set it up to 100 full duplex and check it. if you network goes down its sure that your both ends do not have the same speed. also check your cable. if it is hand made it may have poor connections. :)
ok, with the pc, if it's XP,
start>Connect to>show all connections>right click on Local Area Network>properties>configu
Not sure what type of router you have, but ensure it is set to the same as the PC. Essentially, make sure they are both 10/half or 100/full.
If you have another cable, use that.

over that distance you should have no issue with connectivity.
i have to say i think it looks like a hardware or cable issue if the same thing happens when you move the cable to another port on your linksys i would check the length of cable.
I have seen this issue once before and it was a new router which turned out to be faulty.
What would be good if you had another pc with a neteork card in it you could do some fault testing.
Putting your ip manually may also help.

UTP cable is limit if It's longer than 100metre. Check your conection by command ping to your computer for check network connection.
you should also check your internet and subnet mask.
