Default wireless antenna

i found there is someone with a wireless network close to were i live about 75-100 ft away using a dell XPS i get 2 bars of signal strength.With my desktop using a Linksys Pci Wireless card i got no signal at the same location as the laptop.So i cut the antenna's cable on the pci card and tried extending it with standard analog cable (coax) and it worked but the signal was still low and it was dropping and reconnecting every few minutes .Now it doesnt seem to work at all
which cud be the possible cause ?
1. Wireless card
2. Signal setting

We will not assist you in leeching internet from an un-suspecting neighbor.
