I am using a innovator 24 48 lighting board, and I have bought a ethernet cable to connect to it. I plugged in the cables today and got nothing.

What are you trying to achieve by plugging your laptop in? Do you want to control the lighting desk from your laptop? If so, then you’ll need the lighting desk software installed on your laptop – the desk you mention isn’t one I’m familiar with (and Google isn’t helping me) but I assume that you can get the software and install it on your laptop. You may also need to alter some settings on the desk so that it knows there’s going to be signal coming in from the ethernet port. Also, while the desk may have an ethernet port, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it has the ethernet card inside it – sometimes that kind of thing is an extra which the board is ready for but hasn’t been installed unless it was specified when the desk was bought.
