Ron - Does your pre-wired 50ft run of 5e cable include wall jacks? If so,
how were they wired? Sounds like you have a wiring issue. Do a google
search on 568A and 568B wiring schemes. Check the pin assignments at your
jacks and with the patchcable you bought.

My Pre-wiring is not that sophisticated. I didn't install network wall
jacks. I just ran the cable up through my ceiling and down the wall. I
am using the pre-installed jacks that came on the cable from Belkin.
When I detected the connection issue, I used the other cable (loose
cable not run through ceiling and down the walls) and hooked one end
to ADSL modem and the other to my PC. Still "LAN link" light did not
illuminate.
Thanks

You didn't get crossover cables did you? From what you describe, it should
work but the symptoms sound like a wiring connection problem.

I reckon the 7' supplied is a cross-over. When you replaced it with patch
cables it caused the problem you identified. Take your big patch cable back
to staples and ask for a crossover instead. I bet it works.
