No lights

On a Abit nf7-S i cannot get the mobo to even acknoledge there is a cable plugged in. No lights at all! I have tried two diff Cables and still no luck. Its enabled in the bios and installed in wondows. It relizes there is a ethernet controler on the motheboard but atlast I still get no lights and it say " Network cable is unplugged ''

Is my Ethernet port on the mobo Dead?

What are you suppose to have on the other end of those cables?
A switch? Another computer? Jenna Jameson?
Thereīs no chance for us to be able to help if you donīt tell us what you are trying to do. If thereīs nothing at the end of that cable, you will get that message.

Make sure it's not in an uplink port, and that you're using a straight-through cable and not a crossover...

I take it as you already tried one of the other computers cable since they are working.

In the device manager, is there a yellow mark on the ethernet controller? Has it worked before?
