I have a netgear router with four ports, usually the port (1-4) usually
lights up only if one of my four computer is on... but i noticed that
port 1 which is my main computer... the port light in my router is
always on even when (1) computer is off... it wasn't like that
before... i know its not my router... cuz i hav 2 routers and tested
it... its d same... so is there somthing wrong w/ my cat 5 cable? or

It's possible your NIC is powered up even when the computer is turned off.
Nothing wrong with it. -Dave
