What's the proper wiring for a keystone jack

I have wired Ethernet 5e and put it from one room to another.  I have plugged in my computer (via a patch cable) to the wall mounted Keystone Jack in room 1, and in room two I connected the keystone jack (via a patch cable) to my wireless router's ethernet port.  The router (and computer) work fine over a wireless USB adapter, but although I get the two little computers down in the notification area / system tray that say I am connected, I can't access my network nor the internet. The DNS server and Default Gateway are blank in the Status dialog window of that connection.

Now I looked online to see if the problem is my wiring, but I see

on this page one order for the wires going into a keystone jack, but my keystone jack shows a different order for the 'A' standard. My keystone jacks show
Green, Green-White, Orange-White, Blue-White, Blue, Orange,  Brown, Brown-White

which is right?

But my Keystone Jacks being connected according to the Diagram on the jack, does that mean that the patch cables I use at the ends of the keystone jack have to be wired like the keystone jacks too? I currently am using the 768-B standard for my patch cables.
i meant 568-B

Okay, I just followed the diagram on the jack itself because it must be internally routed via some kind of chip.
All is good now, thanks.
