That's definetely not standard, but at least it looks like you have kept the color pairs together, so you wouldn't have one side of a connection on one pair and the other on a different pair.<br>
A Cable wired with what you have been doing should work OK. Just make sure you don't strip the ends first ;)<br>
<br>
I would go ahead and use the proper color code just so that someone else that comes across one of your connections won't be confused.<br>

so then (my cables are stripe, solid) the proper way to do it is:<br>
<br>
stripe orange,orange<br>
stripe green,blue<br>
stripe blue,green<br>

There is definitely a color code you need to follow for Ethernet.<br>
If you just use the same colors on both side the wires won't be<br>
twisted inside the cable correctly and the cable will be noisey and<br>
give poor performance.<br>

(With the plugs conductors facing you)<br>
<br>
1 white-orange<br>
2 orange-white<br>
3 white-green<br>
4 Blue-white<br>
5 white-blue<br>
6 green-white<br>
7 white-brown<br>
8 brown-white<br>
<br>
Do both ends exactly the same, make sure you press the cable in so<br>
that all the wires touch the end of the plug.<br>
<br>
That should make a good cable.<br>
<br>
10 and 100 Mb cables use pins 123 and 6, 1000Mb cables use all 8.<br>
<br>
Pin 1 and 2 are twisted together and pins 3 and 6 are twisted<br>
together. If you just put the same colors on both sides you will at<br>
least be making pins 3 and 6 not have their proper twists.<br>

you forgot the link but I guess it is the cable. I had a long<br>
enough<br>
cable to just connect it without it looking pretty and it worked. I<br>
don't know though. My connections are good (I think) so maybe<br>
it is the<br>
cable itself. That is all I can think of.<br>

okay, I thought I did it correctly.... I mean the modem is<br>
lights when I plug the new cable in but my brother<br>
tells me that<br>
he still isn't connected and his box (windows) won't ping<br>
google. You just need to make the pairs alike on each end,<br>
right? I answered that question by looking at a known good<br>
cable. I just replaced the rj45s and same thing. I just<br>
restarted the ms box and after it started the front network<br>
computer icons lit up. Then I tried to renew the IP but it<br>
failed. Then I left and came back to the computer and<br>
there was<br>
a bubble message that said it was connected but still<br>
couldn't<br>
get any pages to load. Then I disabled the connection and<br>
reenabled and it said it connected. What's going on?<br>

No, Just crimp it the conductors on the RJ45<br>
jack will<br>
pierce the insulation. If you have stripped<br>
it, it will<br>
probably short inside the plug.<br>
