The broadband ADSL modem is kept at a distance of 40 meter from the PC. When connected, and if I check the network status, only data is seen sent and no data is being received. Is it something connected with the length of the cable?

when using regular CAT-5 UTP cables, you can go up to about 100 meters. So if you can only send data, without receiving any, check the cable.

Adsl Cable Length

Hi Bharath,
The maximum length recommended is 328 feet (100 meters) but in practice we have used 470 feet with no problems.
I don't really think the problem is the cable length. Can you move the modem closer just to test. I would try replacing the cable. It should work O.K.

i thing u get lot of ans about length for the cable so i just want to tell about u r connection
ping ur IP and gateway of ADSL modem/router and also DNS
if u got the reply for all u r CAT 5 is ok!
it may be possible if there is any problem at server end or modem/router not conf.proper .DNS not reply.
no matter modem/router conf or not , gateway will ping if CAT5 or u r n/w is correct

40 meters may be pushing it - expecially if your cable is not the best or there is any amount of interference...
Since NO data is Rx you could try another cable.
ANother idea is to fix the interface speed to 10Mbps versus the default 100Mbps. (10Mbps should be a little more forgiving)
I am not sure how to do this in windows - maybe you can check with the modem (is it a modem or router?)
Cheers

Yes cable length does matter, however you can go up to 100 meters without it interfering. Sounds like you've got some other issue going on. Check your network card settings to make sure you're setup correctly (DHCP or Static addressing, and DNS)
Good luck!

Length do matters.
Try with a shorter distance.
If the system works well at shorter distance the problem is with the cable.
