Weird network problem

Hi,
My second pc running win2k3 is wired to the primary router (netgear
wireless) through a long cat 6 cable. The second pc is on a different
floor. The connection is made up of two cables joined by one simple
coupler. No problems with the setup. Recently, I replaced the coupler
with a Netgear gigbit switch, since I needed to add a third system.
Now, the second pc is not online and I get the message: network cable
is unplugged.
The cable is the same, except now going through the switch. The switch
works, as I tested it with the third pc. I changed ports of the switch
and all ports work fine. No idea what else to do. If anything, the
switch should make things better by enhancing the signal, right?
The cable length from the wireless router to the switch is about 50m
and from the switch to the second pc is another 50m.
Any help would be appreciated.
Asim.
