no link light on cachecard.

I have just installed a cachecard in a sony SVR-2000 with 512MB ram and have installed a WD 120 GB drive as the a drive. The Tivo sees the all of the space on the new drive, and also loads the cache driver when it boots. The problem that I am having is that I dont get link light when I connect the ethernet card, and it will not make the call over the internet. The card was set to dhcp during the install, I am currently useing the same cable to type this that was connected to the tivo and the computer is also set for dhcp. Does anyone have any idea of what to try now?

If you are not getting a link light, then your problem is more fundamental than software drivers; check your connections to your router, you may have a bad cable, a bad coupler, a bad port on your router, or the card may not be seated properly either; its also possible that you have a bad CacheCard, but that scenario is much less likely than the other ones I mentioned.

I have changed the network cable and reseated the cachecard but I still dont get a link light. The same cable that I am using for the the tivo works fine if I plug it into a computer. Is there anything else I should try before saying that the card must be bad.
