[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 970031, member: 76746"] Thanks for the good information Ticedoff8! I went nuts today testing & re-testing. I even took all the wires off the block and tied in one jack. It worked. But, as soon as a second jack was tied in- Neither worked. Pull either out- The remaining one worked. Lots of head shaking going on here today! I think I understand what you told me: 1) All Runs from the RJ-45 Wall Jacks (Female) in the house get RJ-45 Modular Plugs (Male) in the central location. 2) A 10/100 Switch goes in the central location and the Modulars plug into the switch. 3) At Wall Jack "A" a Cat5e modular cord plugs from the wall jack into the 2Wire router. 4) At Wall Jack "B" a Cat5e modular cord plugs from the wall jack into the PC's 10/100 card. 5) At Wall Jack "C" a Cat5e modular cord plugs from the jack into the MacBook Pro's ethernet jack. 6) I can leave the unused pins (4,5,7 & 8) terminated in the jacks or chop them off. 7) The modular cables from wall jack to device are patch cords and not cross-overs. How'd I do, teach? Did I get it correct? Again, I sure appreciate the help and education! Paul [/QUOTE]
