If you guys are planning on doing a wiring a new house (or renovation) I suggest putting cat6 /cat6e wiring as 10GigE support will be coming soon enough (cat 5e rated for only 1GigE).
Don't fret if you forgot to label the cables... connect them to a switch and it'll all work. If you really want to find out which wire goes where, go to monoprice and buy a network tester (The ~$5 is more than sufficient). Connect the slave unit to a network outlet in a room, and go through the wires at the centralized end with the master unit until the light on the master unit turns on. You can verify that the wiring was done correctly (people often mix up the wiring as there are two standards) by looking at the lights (they should light up 1-8 on both master and slave).
P.S. Make sure your ROUTER and SWITCH are rated for at least 1GigE if you're wiring your home with cat5e... else you're bottle-necking yourself to 10/100 Mbps
PM if you need more info.
