[mdlug] OT: Home Network Wiring ?

I figured that there is more than enough brain power in this list to
help me out with this networking set up.  I have one of the Leviton
central home data/comm wiring setups.  In each room, I have a dual RJ-45
jack.  The orange and blue pair are tied to the top jack, and the brown
and green are tied to the bottom.  In the garage is a punch down block
with 9 slots on it, labeled 0 - 8.  Looking at the board itself, it
looks like the paths simply tie each wire together, ie there is a trace
running from wire 1 from slot 0 all the way down to slot 8.  How can I
wire my cable modem into this to get phone and teh internets in each
room?  Is that even possible from what I've described?

My original thought was that I could run a piece of cat5 from the cable
modem to block 0 on the board, which I presume to be an input and punch
in the orange and blue pair.  Since our phone is tied through the cable
modem as well, I was going to then punch in a phone cable from the phone
jack on the cable modem into the remaining slots.

Anyone have any ideas on this?  I can clarify on any points that are
unclear.

Thanks!

Greg
