Justin -
I've done it in the past and it works. Im not sure if the cable will still
meet cat 5 specs, or how much interference it causes on the network. I
would assume you will get additional noise on each connection, thus causing
network errors. It will also depend on skill of the person making the
cable.
A standard ethernet cable uses wires 1,2,3 and 6. So if you were to try to
run two connections down the same cable, You would use two pair for one
connection and two for the other. Example:
EtherNet Connection 1
Pin 1 - White Orange
Pin 2 - Orange
Pin 3 - White Green
Pin 6 - Green
EtherNet Connection 2
Pin 1 - White Blue
Pin 2 - Blue
Pin 3 - White Brown
Pin 6 - Brown.
