In addition to the suggestions already given, if you're using cat5,
suggest you try 10 mbit ethernet (10BASE-T) rather than 100 mbit.
10 mbit ethernet uses manchester encoding and hence only causes
spectrum spikes every 5 Mhz (with sidebands, I know..)
100 mbit ethernet uses a different encoding that causes a lot more
noise all over the band.
Just a suggestion,
