I finally got this work. Why this didn't work the first time or any of the other times, I don't know.
Instead of cutting across cable with a utility knife I cut the insulation parallel with scissors and then cut the insulation away without taking a chance with scoring the individual wires. Then I made sure I did the wires a pair at a time, brown, orange, green and blue. The only problem I have is the line going to my TIVO. When I did the test #7 and 8 were dead. I was going to quit with the whole thing but I plugged the line into the TIVO and the pilot light on the adapter came on. The TIVO is back on the internet and is fully functional. Beats me. How many of the pairs does RJ 45 use? Anyway, the installation looks neat. The other main line I use works with all four pairs like its supposed to.
