A standard straight through cable is the same on both ends, as follows:
White/orange
Orange
White/green
Blue
White/blue
Green
White/brown
Brown
When you say "pear to pear" to you mean peer-to-peer as in connecting two computers directly without using a switch or hub? If so, one end is as noted above and the other end is as follows. This makes a crossover cable:
White/green
Green
White/orange
Blue
White/blue
Orange
White/brown
Brown
Please ignore anyone who says the color coding doesn't matter! The do NOT know what they're talking about. The pairings DO matter and you risk a non-functioning network if you do it the wrong way. I've spent many hours correcting improperly pinned out network connections -- and have made a LOT of money doing it as well!

im assuming you are talking about ethernet. other cables are different. anyway, the colors really don't matter just as long as the pins match up. for a crossover cable (for two computers hooked to each other with no hub or switch) you would cross the 1 & 3 pins and the 2 & 6 pins. for a straight cable (not peer to peer, and using a hub) you would just go straight across (1-1, 2-2,...8-8)

(1) white/orange orange white/green blue white/blue green white/brown brown (2) white/green green white/orange blue white/blue orange white/brown brown From left to right, for a straight-through cable both ends should be in order (1) For a crossover cable one end should be in order (1) and the other in order (2)
