Computer doesn't recognize Ethernet cable (From an Ethernet switch)
-
Plug in the Ethernet cable in another port in the switch
0(2)0(0)Maybe only the port in which the Ethernet cable is plugged in is damaged. If you have other unoccupied ports in the switch, which are still functional, plug the cable in one of them.

Restart the Ethernet switch
0(0)0(0)If the Ethernet cable is fully functional and firmly plugged in on both ends (computer's and router's), but your computer doesn't recognize it, restart the switch by unplugging it from the power outlet and plugging it back in after a couple of minutes.

Clean the Ethernet ports of the switch
0(0)0(0)If the Ethernet port(s) of the switch is (are) dirty, the computer won't detect the Ethernet cable. All you need to do is to take a small piece of cotton (or a cotton bud), pour some isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol on it and clean the Ethernet port(s).
Note: If the indicators next to the port, which signal when a connection between two devices is established, don't blink after you have cleaned them, check out the other solutions.
