Some additional info would help here. Are both E0 interfaces on the same subnet? They should be if not. Did you try switching cables/transceivers/hub ports? Try all of these if you can. A link light doesn't necessarily mean a "good" connection.
I have seen mention of a "minimum" cable length, but I don't remember it as it's not really an issue in a real-world situation. Maybe 36" or similar.
If all else fails, post the configs and we can take a look.

Subject: Connect two cisco with transceivers
I am trying to connect two cisco 2501's together using rj45 cables and a hub
and transceivers in the AUI slots. Will this work, and if so what might I be
doing wrong as they certainly will not telnet or ping each other. I have set
ip's on both E/O interfaces and both trannsceivers show a link. Setup looks
like this
router1 E/0----transceiver--cable--hub--cable--tranceiver--E/0 router2
both the cables are only 15 inches long and someone mentioned that maybe
they need to be longer. Should I be using some other kind of cable?
thanks for any help
stuart
