It's very easy to find that just one of the 8 strands isn't punched down properly into the jacks, or equally that you have crossed over a pair by misreading the colouring. A simple tester is a good investment if you are going to do a few of these. But just for one I'd firstly recheck both ends of your wiring to be sure. Make sure too that your patch leads are straight through, not crossover types, just to avoid issues there.
