Hi westin,
Jeez man! does that thing have a Zimmer frame or what?.............. have you got the little adapter gizmo for it?

I think that the warning is for the Fluke, not your network cable?
I can't remember what model I used to use (could never justify owning one of my own) but how is it powered? I seem to recall that ours were mains A/C adapter and a rechargeable battery? I would try it on mains if possible, as weak batteries can produce strange results with test meters (never seen it with a Fluke though)
Yeah, cable too close to a mains power supply.............. I have seen that before, and it is common with new buildings that generally settle over the first few years (over here a 10 year snagging guarantee is pretty much standard these days). If the building moves so do the cable runs (ducts?).
If you are at a school I would imagine that parts of it are older? perhaps try your Fluke out there.
I would also get a known working machine and try it on the suspect jack with a different RJ45. If you get the not detected message then it is more than likely EMF interference that is causing it somehow. Some sort of induction current I suppose?
As you are getting this from all the jacks in the room I would rule out the network card socket, although I have seen that before
Luck!
