  • Have done it like that on both sides? If you have then it should work (even you have not followed the standard - it is always striped, full, striped, full,... just google for RJ45 scheme) - so it could be the problem if you have done one side correctly and the other like you mentioned (striped, full, full, striped,...)

  • Could you provide a photo of both ends?

Well you have to follow standards otherwise it could very well be your cable and your laptop is just less picky. Could be a dead port and what do you mean by doesnt work? No link, no internet? Your cable should be on o,o/w,g,b/w,b,g/w,br,br/w or swap orange and green which is ok too. Split pairs like you have can cause numerous issues. Fix your cable, then update us.
