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.
