You are missing a ton of information for anyone to figure out what the problem is. So it can be all three. You might want to include the following:

Static or dhcp addresses?
results of pinging 127.0.0.1 [loopback address of the nic]
results of a ipconfig at a command prompt

Troubleshooting suggestions:
Use a known good patch cable
Switch to a different port in the switch
Swap the nic [same nic will mean you won't have to reinstall networking]
Use a known good pc to connect to the same wall port being used and see if you can connect.
