No luck. I powered off the PC and modem then attached the new cable and still no connection lights. The 20m cable still works. Ive resorted to using the USB cable. Are there any significant differences between the USB and ethernet connections? Its dam annoying this, using to a USB port when theres a perfectly good NIC. I had this problem with an ethernet cable from maplins before, maybe these cables just dont like me.
