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.
A Cable wired with what you have been doing should work OK. Just make sure you don't strip the ends first ;)

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.

so then (my cables are stripe, solid) the proper way to do it is:

stripe orange,orange
stripe green,blue
stripe blue,green
stripe brown,brown

I was taught,

blue, stripe blue
green, stripe orange
orange, stripe green
brown, stripe brown

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.

(With the plugs conductors facing you)

1 white-orange
2 orange-white
3 white-green
4 Blue-white
5 white-blue
6 green-white
7 white-brown
8 brown-white

Do both ends exactly the same, make sure you press the cable in so
that all the wires touch the end of the plug.

That should make a good cable.

10 and 100 Mb cables use pins 123 and 6, 1000Mb cables use all 8.

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.

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

I would take a gander at this link, and look at the various
diagrams. especially the notes at the end.

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

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