Some googling around suggests that you might have some luck by:
1) Plugging into a different port on your router, or
2) Trying a different cable.
Both ends of a CAT cable are not really "identical", and that's why most
routers have a single "upstream" or "uplink" ports, where some pins
are
switcherooed. Adding to the confusion is that some CAT cables might be
crossover, rather than straight through. I also have the impression that
most hardware, at least GigE, might not really care, and autonegotiate who
is what, with its peer, when they connect to each other.
Try plugging the cable into your hub/router's "uplink" or
"upstream" port,
if it's not connected to anything.
Nop, nothing. Connection doesn't come up, not even at connections
where I used to connect without any trouble (tried at home, at work
and at College)
