[QUOTE="groundswitch, post: 1422058, member: 260335"] when the macbook pro didn't work on the same cat 5 cable I decided to check the phone line that the modem is connected. Discovered that the jack was wired wrong (reversed polarity) I purchased a simple phone line tester at the local hardware store for about five bucks. I guess the guy that wired it was color blind or something. Also replaced the cat 5 wall jack because it didn't seem to make a good connection. I'm happy to report all's well now and I'm the proud owner of a really cool phone line tester and neat punch-down tool. [/QUOTE]
