My 8300 CMT's ethernet port seems to be on its way out. With a short cable speed falls back to 100Mbps. If i connect with a long cable (100 foot), the ethernet connection turns on/off constantly. Its the only computer to do so.
What's a good ethernet NIC to use if have to go that route?
You could also get a replacement motherboard for just 30 USD on Ebay.

Even if you don't use it right away it's good to have a backup on hand in case of any other kind of failure.
