Windows Server 2003 and Network Connection

I have a small server based network with 3 client machines on the network. Each client machine logs into the Active Directory Domain when they log onto their computers. I just added a new laptop to the network. When I plug the laptop into the ethernet wall outlet the laptop does not pick up the netwok connection. Local Area Network is listed as Network Cable Unplugged.

This jack works fine with another laptop that was added to the network months ago. Also, when I have the new laptop at my house the network jack work fine. It only behaves this way when I am at the office and on the Windows 2003 Server network.

I am going to try everyones advice and divide the points. Do you guys think it could be an issue with Active Directory? Remember, when I connect my old laptop to this netowrk jack it work fine. However, when I connect my NEW laptop to the network jack it gets a network cable unplugged error. This rules out a wiring problem.
