Me and 4 friends of mine bought a Switch(8-Port Fast Ethernet Switch from Edimax ), cables, etc. and built a Network.
We use CAT5 UTP cable. Two of them are about 90 meters long, and the others arround 20-30 meters.
The problem is that the switch keeps getting fried. It works for a couple of months, and then it breaks. Sometimes one of the network cards also breaks. It usualy happens when it rains or snows. We changed 6 or 7 of them until now.
Somebody said it could be static electricity or electromagnetic interference.
Do you have any ideea what could be the problem and how to fix it?
