I see a lot of misinformation here. "Wires" seems to have it right. I'll throw my 2 cents in and try to keep it as simple as possible. I have professionally installed cable tv and satellite for a number of years. I have attended training classes and I am certified. La-dee-da. First of...

IMHO you should get a CAT 5 tester like a Pentascanner/Omniscanner or Fluke or Wirescope and certify the network Category 5 or 5E. Software comes with the respective scanners so you can print nice reports. I'm a BICSI certified Technician and that's all we ever do when "certifying" our...

Well, I installed Easy CD Creator 5.0 Platinum on my machine...big mistake. Now it won't reboot at all. I tried emergency repair and safe mode but nothing works. It gets stuck on the big white startup screen...just hangs... Seems like I'm left with having to re-install Win2K. I really don't want...

Keep in mind that CAT 5 maximun length is 328 ft or 90 meters, including patch cables. Longer than that and you will need fiber, a repeater or segment the network. Length of patch cables shouldn't matter but use a length appropriate for the distance from PC to wall plate (ie don't use 20 ft if...

The twist should really be 1/4 inch from the punch down, not 1/2 inch.

I have tried everything. I re-installed on a new HD with a barebones box and I keep getting the same error "explorer.exe has performed an illegal operation....the program will be terminated" or something similar. Then the desktop disappears and I have to reboot. Sometimes it happens as...
