    1/ What are you trying to do with them.
    2/ What are you pluging them into.
    3/ Are they straight through or crossover CAT 5 patch cables (compare both ends to see if all the coloured wires are arranged the same, if yes then straight through, if no the crossover)

    Fine.

    1/ Your "modem" Is it DSL/cable/56k/Wireless?
    2/ What connections does it have.
    3/ Do you have a switch or a hub (may not be necessary based on answer 1 and 2)
