Um, maybe plug them in Na, J/K man, do you have a tester for phone/cat 5? It might just be the damn cables that are not working, or the plug-in ends.

Looks great, Hitman! I would really like to have something like that, but alas, we are renting and the landlord isn't too keen in rewiring (my Dad already asked). They wouldn't even get the house grounded for God's sake (I've been shocked by the computer about 10 times already).

Anyhow, really nice job!

phone lines are easy. If you only have 1 line in the house then pick 2 color wires at the main box and use the same 2 throughout the system and jacks. With 2 lines, just match up the colors, keep the 2 wires for line 1 and 2 other wires for line 2. If you need any help just let me know.. phone lines are as easy as hooking up speakers, pick 2 wires and use them

Nah its the line coming into the house not anything I did. Been having problems all weekend. It's something I will have to call the phone company about.

Seems like I missed something, at the start you said 5 telephone outlets, well in this pic only see 4 plus the main line coming in from outside. Is the other outlet hidden or in the garage somewhere else.
But on the fine looking setup for all of your work.

If you look real close you can see the 6 lines (one for the main line 5 outgoing lines) going into the M Block, and one going to the Jack for the DSL Modem. So in total I ran 7 phone lines. It's kinda hard to see from that angle.

That's very impressive work you did, Hitman. Nice work indeed!

I've got Dial Tone! Turns out the POTS network box on the side of the house was bad. AT&T replaced it today and now all my phone lines work. I am officially done with the network project.

Thanks WhiteEagle, it's turned out to be quite the project. It's very convenient to have jacks in every room. I think it was worth all the work and money I put into it.
