I'm running about 75 feet of cat5 with a standard RJ45 termination block at each end.  
I'm using the straight-thru wiring, wh-gr, gr, wh-orange, blue, wh-blue, orange, wh-brown, brown on each box.  Should I be reversing the colors on one end?    I have both ends wired in the same sequence.
When I plug in a laptop through the new cat5 with a patch cable at each end, I can't get an internet connection.
I plug the laptop into the existing jack with either patch cable, works fine.   I checked both patch cables with a cable tester, the tester also shows 4 good pairs.  Kinda hard to test the 75' run after it's installed through the walls, etc.
