None taken. But what exactly makes cables not work? Assuming that the little
light on the hub goes on, then it's just gotta be too high resistance,
right? What's the maximum resistance that you can have for them to still
work for 10Base-T? How about 100 Base-T? That's something that I can test
for easily.

If you made your own cables using traditional fittings, it's fairly likely
(don't
take this personally) they won't work. I say this based upon years of
trying to do
this, and finally going to pre-made patch cables, and using Panduit
mini-com
connectors for in-wall wiring. Even if you only value your own time at
$5/hour,
this makes sense.
