I made my own Ethernet cable to extend our DSL connections to
25 feet. I used a cat5 male connector on each end. I use two ordinary
phone line cords. After I lined them up identically like what cat5 cables
are supposed to I then solder and assemble the cords. I then check the
resistance on all eight terminals. They all check fine.
The problem is when I plug one end of the cable to DSL modem the other
to the PC the cable fails to work. I keep getting "network cable unplug" and
"network cable plug" consistently until I unplug the cable. Does this
mean that the cat5 won't accept the ordinary phone cables?
Thanks
