Does it matter which ethernet port I use? - Blu-ray Forum

You might be better off, with the longer run, using a single cable to a repeater/switch of some sort and hooking both up with shorter runs to it. I know 35 feet isn't huge for CAT6, couldn't hurt though.

Use a single long run to your A/V cabinet and then get n inexpensive switch to distribute your network to all of your devices. I use an 8-port switch in my A/V cabinet for all of my gear. Its amazing how quickly the networkable devices add up.
