Errrrrr - but will anyone be using cable (rather than wireless) in a few
years time? Doubt it, myself - except in hostile (EM) environments... So
why not go wireless now? It's cheap, easy and far more flexible!

I am doing up my house and adding minumum of 2 points on every room. Patch
panel in celler for all points. Also at least 1 sat quality coax to every
room too. I can use the cat5 for phone, video (via adaptors that are
available, which also allow remote control data) hard wire a link etc. All
configurable and secure!

No doubt other problems will arise and I'll be seeking your help, but
for
the moment the cable is in but I don't have a guide on how to wire the
CAT5e
(to which pins) can anyone point me to one?

I've checked practicallynetworked and helmig and they discuss theory and
the
software side but I can't see the hard stuff explained to this detail.
Would quite like to get this running this evening if poss. Belkin
switch/router and Blueyonder connection to share (once a BitTorrent d/l
has
finished .... ;-) Anything to beware of generally (not done this
before)?
Thanks
