I moved into a small apartment with Cat 5 run throughout and want to run
phone and ethernet over these lines. I have spent some time trying to get
this to work but haven't had much luck. Wondering if anyone has any
advice?

The set up is:

I have two phone lines; one for upstairs and one for my office in the
garage. The garage line carries the DSL service.

From the MPO I have two wires that go into a small phone jack.
I have attached my DSL splitter to this jack.
DSL splitter has phone out and DSL out.
DSL out runs to a 4 outlet router.
Phone runs to a 3-way splitter (I may run this to a punch down block....)

Using the Cat5, I have pulled the blue and white wires away from the rest
allowing about 6 inches of wire and put an RJ11 jack onto it. I plug this
into the splitter. The other end is already connected to the phone jack
and works great.

I have then pulled the Orange and Green pair (still twisted) and cut them
about 1 inch from the jacket. I then put them into an RJ45 jack into
1,2,3 and 6. (OW/O/GW/G) This I plugged into the router and the other
end into my computer. This DID NOT WORK.

Help??

Thanks!!!

OK, as I understand it: a single Cat5 run with phone split
on pair one (blue/wh). This should work and is specifically
designed to work at 10baseT (and maybe higher).

First, how did you do connections? Cat5 jacks (female)
normally have color codes, you follow them because to meet
Cat 5, they're all twisty inside.

When you mention pin numbers, it sounds like you crimped.
This is usually a bad idea for newbies. It is extremely
easy to get wrong (pattern, plugs, force).
