Urgent!

I need to know how to make a network cable to hook two hubs together.
I know i need to switch the cords i just dont know in what order. If
you could provide diagrams or pictures or even just explain exactly
which ones to move where. I am using Cat 5e cord. it has a total of 8
wires running through it. If you need more info let me know or call me
at 907-874-4304. Ask for "Wayne Nelson".
I really need this fast so i wont mind if you post the answer in parts
as you get them.
Thanks,
Wayne Nelson

What you are referring to is called a crossover cable.  Due to your
urgent time constraint, I will limit the number of examples.  You can
choose which presentation you prefer, however, the steps are
essentially the same at both of these sites with diagrams that can be
found about half way down the page.

Also, you may want to check the hub or switch you are connecting to. 
Many of these devices offer an "Uplink" port that make the "crossover"
internally, allowing you to use a standard ethernet cable instead of a
crossover cable.  Sometimes, the Uplink port will have a small button
or flipswitch next to it, allowing you to toggle between standard and
crossover modes.

Thanks for the answer,

It appears that the instructions for CAT 5, CAT 5E, and CAT 6 are the
same.  You want to wire one end as standard 568B and the other as
"crossed" 568A.  In the end, it is the physical location of the wires
that matter.

I believe that this additional tutorial will be of interest to you. 
In the notes for the diagram, see item number 4 regarding crossover
cables:
