* PC A will get an IP address at jack B and it works perfectly.
* PC B gets an address at jack A and works great.
* PC B gets an address at jack B and works great.
* Both wires coming to network jack A from the server room have just been replaced and tested as functional.
* PC A's network card shows blinkenlights while in jack A, but has no connectivity
