You can buy both types of cable from any computer shop for a few pounds.

If it was working then stopped a common reason for this is accidently clicking the uplink button in/out on the router/switch, effectively changing the type of cable it needs to work. Check to see if you have an uplink switch and if so make sure it is set correctly...

Good luck.
If I'm looking at the same model it autosenses whether the cable is cross over or not, so I don't think there is any button to press.
