Ethernet goes down in speed exponentially at 100 feet and afterwards. That 1/6 of the speed is normal.

Two options: Wireless, or drill! If you were doing wireless, I'd get a wireless access point with wired ports like Mephisto said. Then all ya need is a wireless network card in the PC that's across the wall.

If you drill, that'd be the money-saver and speed saver. 3 feet of brick is pretty damn impossibly though. You'd have to make the hole big enough for a cat 5 connector to go through, and have a drill bit that's 3 feet long (unless you're a damn good measurer and can drill from both sides).
