Converting existing telephone wire to Ethernet cable

Is there any way we can convert normal cat 3 four wires telephone cable to Ethernet cable...

I need my existing secondary concealed telephone wiring as a LAN cable

AFA I researched 4 wire can support upto 2 mbps only..

Also couldn't find any rj11 to 45 converter..
So crimping needs to be done I guess

Has anybody tried this..
Or any inputs regarding the feasibility

I am not sure that's possible.

Why not buy a new Ethernet cable?

I will need a 20-30 m cable and run all the way from bedroom to hall.. Which won't be feasible

Wifi setup would be better feasible.

You need to connect your HTPC with it?

+1

Wifi has a range of about 70m indoors.

general opinion is that one needs at least 5mbps for smooth full HD streaming.

no its wont work.

4 wires cable ? - Ethernet Card - Networking
Hi everybody and thx for your help. I have made some new tests, and I have found the bug
I have made a new cable with a real cat5 using only 4 wires and it works great. But if I use a phone cable with the same wiring scheme, nothing works. I guess the signal disapear too fast in the wire due to the electrical conditions of the phone cable (limited freqency). So I have to find another way to wired my house.
