Just wondering if you are using a crossover cable by mistake.

If you look at the plug with the cable towards you and the copper pins uppermost a straight cable should be: (at both ends)
1-org/wht
2-org
3-grn/wht
4-blu
5-blu/wht
6-grn
7-wht/brn
8-brn

if it's a crossover one end will have 1&2 crossed with 3&6 ie the orange wires crossed with the green wires.

Sorry if i'm explaining egg sucking etc.
