Hi Tom, There are guidelines for wiring the connectors. This link (grabbed at random) covers some of it.
http://www.ertyu.org/~steven_nikkel/ethernetcables.html The important thing to remember is... for a standard, straight through cable both connectors must be wired in the exact same order. Keeping the colors straight is nice, but not required. Just make sure pin 1 is wired to pin 1, pin 2 to pin 2 and so on. The crossover cable (direct connect, computer to computer) is a different animal altogether and I won't pretend to remember how that works. I've made just one of them in over 15 years.
