Check to make sure your network card is installed properly. It may be as simple as reinstalling the drivers.
If that doesn't work, try cracking the case and reseating the nic.
Otherwise nics are cheap. By a new one.

Did you make your crossover cable? If you did, re-do it. If you didn't, make sure its not a patch cable.
