Answer 1

there is tow options :
first if you try to connect a pc to HUB or Switch then the its Straight Through Cable :
means the same order of colors you start with in the first RJ-45
you have to repeat it on the other RJ-45

for example this order in the pic below:

the second option is if you try to connect PC to PC then you have to use CROSSOVER :
this means you got to connect the connectors as follows

Answer 2

Twisted pairs go to 1+2, 3+6, 4+5, 7+8. It doesn't matter what color order as long as you have the same wire order on both ends and have them paired as described above. If you're doing a lot, though, you should learn the "proper" order referenced in the first answer so you get in the habit. If you do it in an "improper" order, though, you'll have to look at the wires in the old terminator if you ever have to reterminate the cable in the future.

If you want to make a crossover cable, on one end switch the 1+2 with the 3+6, and the 4+5 with the 7+8. Keep the wires in each pair in the same order: 1<->3, 2<->6, etc.
