Thanks, good advice about daisy-chaining the hubs. The "no more than three" thing is well known amongst LAN administrators, but I don't think that it's the sort of thing they put into the user manuals in those D-link SOHO networking kits.

By the way, the Cat5/10baseT length limit is 326 feet. I became acutely aware of this when we moved to a new building across the parking lot and literally strung a Cat5 cable from one second-story window to the server room in the new building during the transitional phase of the move. It worked like a charm, but I was sweating it for a while until the actual cable run was complete. It came out to about 310 feet.
