Trying to do it in the wall requires special tools, and even the is very difficult, primarily because there are horizontal studs between the verticals. You also have to deal with the insulation in the walls.

Professional tip: utilize closets if possible.

For instance, if there is a closet under the second floor, run your wire along your molding (do yourself a favor, try to hide with carpet) then drill down thru the closet.

CAT5 is usually very ugly colors (enables the tech to know it is CAT5 with a glance) so hiding it is usually pretty important.
