    OK - all wires now removed. and a new photo of socket 2 added.

    Please could you tell me from top to bottom left to right which colour to put where 1,2,3,4 - 5,6,7,8

    Thanks

    you've already been told

    personally, i would connect each cable to the sockets, otherwise you create what is known as a short. gigabit ethernet does use more than just a couple of cables, so if you upgraded in the future, you'd support an even faster LAN

    1 -orange/white
    2 - orange
    3 - green/white
    4 - blue
    5 - blue/white
    6 - green
    7 - brown/white
    8 - brown.

    You can't create "what is known as a short" by not connecting wires!
