Maybe you are having a problem with crosstalk.  I expect you have mainly been
checking continuity.  There are several other important parameters to check.
You could try using an HP Wire Test instrument to verify your cable.  This was
developed specifically to test wire for compatibility to 10 Base T.  Your
cable installer may have one, otherwise check with HP.  I believe we offer a
Wire Testing service or if you have a big installation you may want to consider
buying one.
