Since you are running jack to jack, the wiring on one plate has to be set up as A and the other as B. The wires in each pair must be reversed at one end.
There are usually instructions in the plate pack that explains this. If you don't have new plates, go to the web and look up CAT-5 or CAT-6 wiring diagram. They are both wired alike. The difference is in the twists per foot. CAT-6 is twisted more than CAT-5.

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?
