[dba-Tech] network cards...

Hi all, got a bit of a strange one...
 
we had a power cut here on Saturday, and everything has come up again except
two pc's... they're both exactly the same model (Compaq Evo D310) and both
network cards are insisting that the network cables are unplugged, when they
definitely aren't. I've checked the cables from pc to port, port to switch
etc... the activity and connection lights on the cards themselves are both
working. 
 
I've downloaded drivers for them, removed them from device manager and
reinstalled the cards, but they still say that the cables are unplugged.
They're the only two pc's of that model in the building, and it seems a
little odd that they're the only ones with any problems. I've tried
different cables and different ports, but the it still says the cables are
unplugged... 
 
I need new cards don't I?
