I recently met a very similar situation, so I'm wondering if the
problem is the same.
Is the network connection using BNC cable or twisted pair cable?
If BNC cable, you can stop here as the rest of this doesn't
apply, but please let me know so I know to ignore this as well.
Assuming the lead uses twisted pair cable, is it going directly
between the two computers, or are there separate leads from each
computer to a hub?
Also, did you make the cable yourself from scratch; is it one
you've bought in that's unmodified; or is it one you've bought
in that you've shortened?
