I agree with Don. Try a new cable.

It doesn't take a lot of flex to break one of those small solid copper 
wires.
If it's broken in the connector it wasn't crimped well, as the standard 
RJ-45 has a strain relief built in that clamps down on the cable to keep 
it from pulling out.

I just cringe when I see someone unpack a store bought cable, grab a 
hold of the connector and start straightening it out.
