[DIY] Running Cat 5e

 

We moved and my wife's office has the modem.  My computer is not set up for WiFi, so I ran a cable from her office to mine by using two Cat 5e plates and cutting the ends off a wire and screwing onto the terminals on the back.  I did this in the last house without problems.  But for some reason it doesn't work here.  I used a different 5e line and ran through the house and it works.  So I know both the modem and my computer work fine. 
 
I've checked and rechecked my connections and, though I've switched a few wires, the colors are the same on both sides:  Clockwise from the top the colors on the plate are blue, black, orange, red, green, yellow, brown and white.  The colors from the wire are blue, blue/white, orange, orange/white, green, green/white, brown, and brown/white respectively.  It should work.
 
I'm wondering if there is anything else that could cause a problem.  Could running it across a 110v line interfere with it?
