ASUS P5LD2 ethernet cable problem

[CS5n531]

Got my new computer built up, tested it out, everything runs fine, got AV software in, so I decided its time to get the internet up and running. I plug in the ethernet cable and go to create a new connection. It says that my ethernet cable is not plugged in when it clearly is. I spoke to an optimum rep who told me to reinsert the NIC card, but the mobo I have doesn't have one. So now I'm slightly lost as to whats going on. I have noticed that underneath the cable is an orange light, and when I plug the cable into my old one, its an orange and green light.
