Reply: (edit)Yes long cables could be the problem as signal loss can occur. To be certain move the computers next to each other using a shorter network cable and if it speeds up then it is your cable. Are your network cards and hub 100mb/s?. Go to your network properties and click configure on your network card. Under advanced>>connection type check if it is 100baset (not 10baset), Auto negotiate or something similar.
