Sounds possible the cable is buggered. Check the NIC in the PC is enabled though - it's possible if you've been using Wireless, you (or somebody else) disabled the network card; the driver might not attempt to bring up the link if not.

Easiest way to check is in device manager. If it has a red cross on it, it's disabled.

Find another ethernet cable and test that too. That's your best bet.
