If I am connecting a computer to an already existing network, what are the color assignments i need for the cat 5 wiring? This is just a regular network already set up I didnt set it up myself so I dont know, and I havent done a cable from scratch in a while. I think I might have found what I was looking for but if someone could confirm for me it would help out...

This is the way I do them:
White-Orange
Orange
White-Green
Blue
White-Blue
Green
White-Brown
Brown
Here is a picture: (Scroll all the way down and look at the one in the middle labes as '568-B'

Just make sure you get them in good on the end thingy and pinch them good (not to hard to brake the cables, but hard enough that they don't slide off.)

Here is a great site with different pinouts. It dumbs it down (hey I don't cable stuff every day) for us non cable monkeys. ;)
