We run our rather large ethernet between several buildings here at the University of Texas without a major problem. Currently we have a backbone cable running between the CS department and the Computation Center. This cable spans three buildings. Off of this cable we run several other ethernet cables connected by repeaters and remote repeaters to several other buildings on campus. This configuration kind of stretches the original intent of an ethernet, but seems to work fairly well. Eventually we plan to install a broadband backbone cable between the buildings and use ethernets within single buildings only. I have heard of ground potential problems with running the cable between buildings. So far we have experienced no problems with ground loops or other such nasty phenomena.
