This question has nothing to do with wireless.
You might get a better answer in a DSL related newsgroup.

There are two DSL lines on my property and they both work fine but
each on each side of the yard.

I decided to run them together in a single CAT5E cable to my two DSL
modems using 4 wires of one DSL line and 4 wires for the other one.

One line works perfect until I connect the other 4 wires for the 2n
line then each DSL line dies! I can connect one or the other but not
both. I would like to know why?

Think about how the DSL lines run from the CO (central office) to your
MPOE (minimum point of entry) or demarc. You have at least 10,000 ft
of twisted pair, unshielded wire, in the same bundle, going between
the CO and your MPOE. Yet, you seem to be having a problem running
perhaps a few feet of wire between the MPOE and your DSL modems. The
telco can make it work over 10,000ft, and you can't over a few
additional feet. My guess(tm) is that you did something wrong with
the wiring, splitter, DSL filters, color code, terminations,
connectors, or whatever is between the MPOE and your DSL modems.

Sure I can run two separate CAT5E cables and wire them to 568A or B
standards but would I dont see why I couldnt run each DSL line in the
same cable?

Duz it work when you run two seperate cables?

Incidentally, I suggest 568B color coding to avoid insanity. Most of
the patch cables come wired 568B (even though 568A is the official
standard).


Exactly the telco runs over a thousand feet of twisted wire and I'm
only running 400 ft across my property and I have this problem.

I am going with two CAT5E cables as that solves the problem but
was just trying to figure out what could be the problem.

Thank you!
Tom
