I apologize for my misspelling. It was late when I wrote my statement. I will check on the color of the networks status and let you know. The cable has been tried on both the router and the DSL modem. The words, both times, say cable not connected. I, thinking it was the cable itself, tried the cable on another Mac and even a Windows (sorry for my bad language) system and the connection works fine and the cable was detected both times tested.

It's not "either", it's "ether", from the Greek aithēr 'upper air,' the substance thought to permeate all space in ancient times. What are you connecting to, some sort of router, or another Mac, or a modem? You have your Network Preference>Built-in Ethernet>TCP/IP set to DHCP?
