is there any possible way to re-wire an ethernet cable to make it a crossover cable? I want to know because I have plenty of regular Ethernet cable already built and has ends on it already, but i think all i need to do is cross a couple wires and it's good.
So if there's any easy way to do it, please tell me!
Thanks!

Yeah, just cut open the cable (dont cut it in half, just take the insulation off to expose the inner wires) and cut the green and orange wires. Then connect the orange striped wire to the green stripped wire and the orange solid wire to the green solid wire.
 
that site did tell you but

The best thing to do is get a new connector and recrimp it, rather then stripping and joining the wires together (if that's what you were referring to Matt).
