Default USB to Ethernet switchover curiodity

I've been running my cable internet modem through USB. Today I got a couple
Cat5e's (I don't recall specifying the "e") in the mail and hooked one up
I got nothing.

An hour or two later a gal at Comcast is telling me to swap ends on the
cable. I did. Now I'm on with ethernet.

Question:

Do all ethernet cables need a certain end at the computer? Is this
something specific to cat5e?

Thanks
