Debugging the Hardware fault

I have Cyclone III fpga board with Ethernet interface and JTAG connector for Active Serial Programming through USB Blaster.

If I plug in the Ethernet connector - the PC is not recognizing the hardware - i too can make the Ethernet connector light is not coming up.

When i tried to load the boot-loader through USB Blaster - its not successful.

Under this situation i am not able to guess what went wrong - is it the fpga or eeprom - Could any one can tell me other way to understand what i should look into to correctly figure out the issue

    It sounds like you have a few problems and, maybe, don't understand how it should work. Is this a development board or a custom one? Can you add some schematics to the post?

    Cheers,
