I am trying to hook up Linksys router to another computer over 200 feet in distance. Is there a distance limit, because its not working? How can I correct the problem?

Generally it is around 300 feet is the distance limit , this is using good quality Cat 5 or better . I would look at your wiring and make sure it is terminated correctly .
