Ethernet has a link signal, which tells you that the physical connection is good. On the Ethernet port on your PC there should be at least one LED that lights up (solid on) when you have link. Getting link is the first step.
If you don't have link - first make sure you have a proper CAT5 Ethernet cable. You may need either a straight through cable or cross over cable - look on your cable modem to see if there is mid/mid-x button. Try pressing it.
Also try rebooting the modem.

Make sure the router is powered up. If it is, try swapping the cables. If it doesn't detect, there is probably a physical problem like a worn out cable.

er .....
i may be missing something here..........
but Ethernet devices aren't "detected" are they?
do you not just type the address in the address bar of explorer and access the router that way?

make sure the cable is good by measuring continuity
