You are the first person in this thread to mention the Internet at all.

Define a "normal cat 5 cable". There are many was of wiring the plugs
on the end of a cable and different applications may require different
wiring. The specific example of this thread is that there is a
difference between a straight wired cable and a cross over cable.
Feel free to check Wikipedia and/or Google for the differences if they
were not explained well enough here for you.
