can a long serial cable cause freezing?

[jam25]

i spliced my db9 null cable to extend the lenght.
i use a cat5 cable at about 80 feet.
when i run the cable from the pc to the other receiver in the next room, it works but with a lot of freezing.
i even switch the com port on the pc and the same problem occurs
what could be the problem why i'm getting this result?
should the com port be adjusted or something?

friend if your using nfps thats probably why its been freezing for awhile now,try hooking up the null cables that came with your receiver and see if its freezing still its still freezing then its the private server your using....

no. the servers are working good.
i switch between two different servers and the box still freeze every 2 to 3 minutes.

That would be network related, make sure you prioritise your ports being used for IKS.

Sometimes It is A Server Issue on The other End.
