ethernet wiring

[Eric Cope]

Are you saying that the wire sheaths don't match at each end of the
cable or the colors are not what you expected?
If they don't match, that's a serious problem, pretty magical too.
If each end matches the other end, but the colors are not as expected,
then just assign each twisted pair to your expected colors, and
remember those assignments for each end.

let me know if that doesn't make sense.
