Okay, how are the cables hooked up ? Are the two machines connected
directly to each
other ? If so, is the cable crossed over ? If your going through a hub,
are the cables
in the right order (ie. if your on a cable mode, run the cable->hub
connection through
the uplink connection.. if so, some hubs dont want the first port
occupied or demand that
a certain "uplink" button be switched..)
