Does anyone where some good guides to house wiring with Cat5e cable are? My house is done with Cat5 but only two (blue/white stripe, white/blue stripe) are being used for my phone. I am cancelling my home phone service. There are two cables that come from my house to the Qwest box and the coax and the cat5 all come into one place in the master bedroom, similar to a wiring closet but smaller. I want to replace the phone jacks in my house with Rj45 ethernet jacks, so i can put Vonage anywhere plus have media center and such.

You don't need Ethernet throughout your house to use Vonage. You disconnect your line from the phone company (typically in your basement) and connect the Phone Adapter to the existing phone wiring in your house. You can do that by plugging it in where you disconnected your POTS service, or any other existing unused phone jack.
I want ethernet in my house, becuase i don't want wireless - not fast enough - and i want to hook up perhaps a media center pc and an extender. Theres already cat5 run for my phone, but i want Gigabit to every room.

ah well, ill just have to get it done professionaly the cable is all run, i just need some advice, i took CCNA (i learned very little obviously, didnt' get certified), but i still don't know exactly what i need to do it all.
So is your question how do you wire the RJ45 jacks in place of the current RJ11 jacks? Follow the diagrams that are all over the 'net - for example, there is a good downloadable guide on the Leviton site. There are 2 standards - T-568A and T-568B - and it doesn't much matter which is used as long as (obviously!) you are consistent
Or not....... I just setup a Linksys MCE for my neighbor. After monkeying around with the wireless, we chose to hard wire it. Turned out to be a lot faster & obviously more secure.
