i've never had issues using the same colors on both sides. But I've never made a jumper as long. is that the problem do you think.... the length makes need to do it the way I was taught?? And short jumpers can be done like wise? I asked a cable guy and asked him about pulling the colors over and he said to just do it the way I am currently doing it.<br clear="all">

There is definitely a color code you need to follow for Ethernet. If you just use the same colors on both side the wires won't be twisted inside the cable correctly and the cable will be noisey and give poor performance.<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 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 together. If you just put the same colors on both sides you will at 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 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 it is the<br>
cable itself. That is all I can think of.<br>

I would take a gander at this link, and look at the various<br>
diagrams. especially the notes at the end.<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 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 there was<br>
a bubble message that said it was connected but still 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 jack will<br>
pierce the insulation. If you have stripped it, it will<br>
probably short inside the plug.<br>

supposed to strip cat 5<br>

but I need to make sure.<br>
