Rj11 to Rj45

[dodger46]

ADSL filter has RJ11 connection, Belkin Surf has RJ45 connection. Will a standard RJ11 to RJ11 cable work, or will I have to get one with the correct connectors on each end??
TIA

verify the belkin is using pins 4 and 5..ie the 2 middle ones. If this is true you can plug a rj11 cable into a rj45 jack and it will work

Not sure how to verify! Can't find any cct diagrams... Tried both 4 and 2 pin RJ11s but the ADSL light obstinately refuses to go 'green'
I ordered an RJ45 to RJ11 cable, but I have no confidence...

No cables work, guess it's DOA, that's the joy of Ebay...
