[Shop-talk] running ethernet wires

[Steven Trovato]

I have done this and it is basically what you said, buy cable 
connectors, crimper, etc.  It's not brain surgery, but it does pay to 
be careful to make reliable connections.  I found this site useful 
regarding the actual 
mechanics:  http://www.duxcw.com/digest/Howto/network/cable/

I'm sending this again, this time with a better link, one level 
up.  And a properly "trimmed" response.
