No network with cat 6 cable on one side of cable

Hi. I am running cat 6 in the house and have a weird problem. The cable works fine between the computer or laptop and router.
If I put a switch next to router it works fine, but if I put the switch next to computer I get limited connectivity and no internet.
I changed the end and still the same. The setup works fine if I replace the cable with a wifi adapter plugged into one of the ports so it isn't the switch.

Looking at the cable from both ends, from the same position, what is the pin layout?

I did mix the green white and blue white cables up but did it the same on both sides so they matched.

Thanks. I know it was the wrong order. I screwed up the first crimp and it took me forever to get the little wires lined up.
I did look it up and most things said the order is important for business were different people would need to know but as long as they match on both ends it would be OK.
I will redo both ends tomorrow and see if that makes any difference.

I redid the two ends with the blue wires in the correct order and it works now.
