I tried to use the hardware test cd, but it doesn't check the ethernet. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hook it up to a hub(switch, something with a link LED). No lit LED=dead.

If running OS9, I have run into some cases where the ethernet extensions became corrupted and I could not get a link. A format and restore was needed to fix what looked like a bad ethernet port.

Thanks for the fast reply. I will give it a shot and let you know.
Any other ideas?

UPDATE:
I plugged it inot an ethernet hub, and it lit up like a charm. It is my parents brand new eMac, (they just switched). I can hook my iBook up to the cable modem with no problem, but when I hook up the emac -nothing. Settings are the same on both, am I missing something?

Are you resetting the cable modem? Some cable modem need to be power cycled if you're moving them from one computer to another.

I will try that. Thank you. (reseting the modem)

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
This worked perfectly, you really saved my butt, I was not looking forward to messing with this.
Thank you so much. The forums have never let me down.

Network Utility can also give you the status of your ports.
