Network Cable Unplugged Issue

I live in a college dorm and my internet used to work fine until I used my friend's ethernet jack in his dorm. He uses a "switch" that allows more ethernet jacks to be plugged in and I think this messed up my Local Area Connection somehow. Now when I try using the ethernet jack in my room it says "Network cable unplugged" even though I know it is plugged in and is working. The internet works fine if I plug it in my friend's jack though. Anyone know what I can do to fix this? This happened before and I messed around with the Speed & Duplex Settings and it worked... but now when I try that it doesn't work anymore!

If I change the Duplex Setting to 100mbs full, it detects an unidentified network with limited connectivity, but the internet still doesn't work
