Only pins 1 2 3 and 6 are used...
See the links below for more detail and pictures...
For crossover, 1 & 2 go to 3 & 6 (and vice versa!)

you'll need a RJ-45 crimping tool first of all.
then you will need to strip down each end of the wire.
in your head assign each color a number, 1-8.
you code for one side will be as follows
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
and the other side will be as follows.
3 6 1 4 5 2 7 8
have fun!

You buy them. If you want to make one, get a Cat 5 cable, cut of the end pieces, buy new sockets, swap wires inside (I think its 1:7 and 2:8 but check ontinternet).

Just like a "straight through" one, but you connect the receive (RX) and transmit (TX) lines, ie. pins 1 and 3, and 2 and 6. However, in all honesty, its easier and not a lot more expensive to buy a ready-made and colour-coded one!
