3000cn Ethernet Fail

Hi,
 
I have a 3000cn which has worked fine in USB mode for its lifetime.... I now want to wire it up to the LAN, but hit a hitch when I plug an ethernet patch-cable into it, I don't get a 'link light' on the hub and it can't acquire an IP address....
 
Plugging the same patch cable into my laptop gives a reliable 100baseT connection....
 
I'm presuming it should be a patch cable and not a crossover?
 
If the socket has just come disconnected from the main circuit-board, is there any way of getting at it to reconnect it?

    Hi,

     

    At last - found somebody else with the same problem. Does anybody know if the ethernet connection was an option on these printers - although there's an RJ45 connector when connecting to router/switch there's no indication of a connection

    Resolved problem by connecting printer to Belkin Network USB Hub (F5L009) - works perfectly and can connect 4 other devices ...

    I got round this by setting the Ethernet connection to 10meg duplex rather than auto.
