Help!! Multi phone lines back to one line

[xtsp2010]

I just moved into a house that apparently has more than one phone line. I took advice from some of the previous posts and opened all 4 phone jacks but none of them seem to be wired the same (one of them even has G, R, Y, B, 2 b/w and 2 w/b, so I'm not sure if that's 2 lines on the same jack). I don't know if it's possible to have 4 different phone lines inside when the wiring in the NID only has 2 wires each connected to line 1 and line2. I already tried switching the wires on line 1 and 2, but I didn't get a dial tone on any of the jacks inside. Of course the phone company sent the working line to my 2 year olds bedroom, which is of no use to me and they want to charge $275 to come rewire the jacks. Is it possible to do this myself? Any tips on how to rewire the jacks back to one line. I'm already pretty broke for the rest of this month because of the move, and furniture and appliances, etc so I'm really not looking forward to shelling out $275 to the phone company to do something that they already told me will take about 10 minutes to fix. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

at the nid connect all four wires to whichever line the telco made live . (

Currently, this is how it is connected for the 2 lines at the NID:

o/w to G1 (the two orange wires are connected contrary to what I've been reading, but that's how they are)
w/o to R1
w/b to G2
b/w to R2

So is the following what you're suggesting:
o/w to G1
w/o to R1
w/b to Blk1
b/w to Y1

I'll try it and see what happens, but let me know if I misinterpretted. Thanks a lot
