I couldn't get any of them to work. The existing network used to work,

the four pairs to work. I have a decent punch down tool and a little
circuit tester which when you plug in the new cable it sequentially
tests each pair.
It did work before, but now its fixed so it doesn't work. I wanted to
make it look nice. Now it doesn't work or look nice.
Any ideas.
Hi Mark:
which scheme were you using, 568 A or B? If you wired up the network
plug using 568A and the cables are B (most common I have seen. Please
don't ask why. I don't know and don't care), it will not work. You
need to use the same scheme cables as the wall plugs. There are a
number of sites on the web which can show you the proper color sequence
for each scheme. One is here:
