I don't have any internet and the lights just glow solid. Is that a indicator of an error?

It's up to the hardware vendor to code the lights. You should see if you can find who makes the chip and get an idea of what they mean.

If you get both lights with no cable connected at both ends, you have a hardware issue.

Both lights could mean full speed, or half duplex, or a wiring error.

No blink blinky means no activity usually

What is the device? If it's a computer, what os? What motherboard or specific model?

Do other devices work on that same cable? What is the other end plugged in to?
