The baffling thing is that I am using this cable now with my desktop to write this answer, but for some reason it won't work in my laptop. I think the port in the laptop is a little bit off and will accept 1 cable but not another. Thanks for the help but I can't think of anything else to try.

Thanks for the quick replies. They both have similar standards: the one that doesn't work is 5E 4PR-ETL TIA/EIA 568B The one that does work is:cat 5 UTP TIA/EIA. I only tried to use the cable recently so no it has never worked with the laptop. And yes I tried a different port with the same result.

An ethernet cable will not work with my laptop. This cable works with another computer, so the cable is okay. A different ethernet cable works with my laptop, so the laptop is okay. Every time I try to connect the first cable to the laptop there is no recognition, no blinking light at the laptop...
