OK - I recieved the LF1S022 magnetic RJ45 filters from Netmedia, and
still cannot get my device on the network.

I have tried using them with the following diagrams:

(Using pins 1,2,3,6)
http://www.eix.co.uk/Ethernet/fig4.png

(Using pins 4,5,6,7)
http://www.tigoe.net/pcomp/siteplayer/siteplayer-hardware.shtml

I have tried with and without the 0.01 µF capacitors.

When I use the 1st pinout (1,2,3,6), which is the same pinout as my
original rj45 jack layout, I get link light, but cannot reach/ping
the device. When I use the 2nd pinout (4,5,6,7), I get nothing.

Any ideas where to go from here? I can try and diagram/photo what I
have so far if it helps.

Thank You!
