Yea, I bought a brand spankin' new ethernet cord for $25 and it didn't do anything.goon attack wrote:sorry!
I didn't know that was the problem! Jesus Career Ending Injury Christ, I was just trying to help!
I said I got GameCast man!
have you swapped out the ethernet cords involved? You may have a bad cord, dude
Agreed. Wireless blows. The only time I use it is with my laptop sometimes.ViPeRx007 wrote:Wireless blows though. I've got enough radiation pulsating through my body.ohio BLUES wrote:Dood get with teh program. We're in the wireless age!
Either the jack is wired incorrectly or the cable (in your wall I presume?) is damaged.ViPeRx007 wrote:Trust me, I'm confuzzlededed as well.the knob wrote:I'm confuzzled. When you say same socket, do you mean the wall jack or the port on the router?ViPeRx007 wrote:All I'm trying to do is take a cable from my router and have it connect into a wall jack where I can then plug in ANOTHER cable from there and run it to my PC. It seems simple enough but I can't get it to work. I'm pretty sure the problem is in the wiring of the wall jack, even though that seems pretty straightforward as well. You just match the colors...durrrr. I can plug a cable straight into the same socket, run it directly to a pc and it works fine, so I don't know what the hell.
Anybody have any experience in doing this? Is there some kind of secret to getting these to work?
AWESOME DIAGRAM:
ROUTER--------cable-----------WALL JACK-------------cable---------PC
I've not wired ethernet jacks, but with serial sometimes you do not match colors/pins, you have to cross them like bama I think said. Have you Googled for a proper diagram?
All I'm saying is that I can do this, like almost everybody does, and get a signal...
MODEM ----> ROUTER ------> PC
But if I try to do this I get nothing:
MODEM ----> ROUTER ------> Wall Jack ------> PC
You must. Otherwise I'm not sure how you could navigate a keyboard as well as you do.big d note wrote:Do you have access to a smart person?

It depends on the situation, I've got 2 laptops and 3 desktops here. The laptops are wireless because they get moved around a lot, one desktop is near the router so is wired, the other 2 are about 4m or so away but across a floor space. Since this is a rental unit and I don't really want to have a wire laying across the floor all the time they've both got wireless cards in them. The only other device is a network harddrive which is literally next to the router so is wired.cprice12 wrote:Agreed. Wireless blows.

Give me an ethernet cable over wireless any day. Faster and more reliable.

yes. scrap the whole project and scrounge up your old collection of HUSTLERs. you don't NEED internet porn.ViPeRx007 wrote:Well, I got it to connect but I can't get on the internet.
Basically the PC is receiving the info from the router (i get an ip address and all that good stuff), but can't seem to send anything back through the wiring I did.
I know it isn't anything wrong with the PC because I can connect it directly to the router and everything fires up fine. That tells me that the wiring is closer but not completely right.
Any suggestions?

So post the damn answer, crappy wiring, crappy install, or crappy jacks?ViPeRx007 wrote:Well, we got this figured out and it's now working the way we wanted.
Thanks to those who provided assistance. Thanks to goon for providing.....whatever it is he provided.
A cheap jack. I bought a different brand and it connected, however I couldn't access the internet. I just had to jam the wires down a little more to make sure they were all getting good contact and then it worked fine.the knob wrote:So post the damn answer, crappy wiring, crappy install, or crappy jacks?ViPeRx007 wrote:Well, we got this figured out and it's now working the way we wanted.
