Hi all,
 
A request for help :-)
 
Yesterday I decided that I'd finally get started on putting CAT5 in walls, started off fine, ended with frustration.  My problem seems to stem from my inability to wire a Clipsal CAT5e connector, I wired up a length of CAT5 with an RJ45 connector at one end and the clipsal jobbie at the other, plugged my KAT 5 units in either end, managed to get sound, buzz and wobbly "picture".  OK, lets attempt to fix this step by step I thought...
 
KAT5's are working fine, connected them with a network cable; perfect picture and sound.  So I decided to chop one end of the "known good" network cable off and wire it to the clipsal, again I get the same symptons buzz, sound and a wobbly picture.  After some number of attempts to fix it and lacking a working internet connection, I gave up. 
 
Can anyone offer words of advice?  I realise there are 8 strands of cable, so there is the likelyhood that I've got something wired incorrectly.  The RJ45 connector is wired, from Pin 1:
 
White/Orange, Orange, White/Green, Blue, White/Blue, Green, White/Brown, Brown
 
The Clipsal outlet is wired as per their colour coding on the back.
 
I'm a wee bit stumped, so any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
- Phil
