This is a curious assertion, that both NICs are operating properly, when
you have no proof of that. You said yourself that the two systems do
not talk to each other in any fashion. :)
It would be nice if you had a third machine that you could connect to,
to see which of them refuses to talk to the other. It would be nice if
you could take your cross-over cable to another pair of known-working
machines and test that the cable works. A "link light" is not a
guarantee that your cable is good, nor that the system will work.
It is very likely that you have a cabling problem, and also likely that
your network drivers are not driving one of the cards correctly.
Perhaps you can boot into DOS from a floppy, and use packet drivers to
see if they can drive the cards, using identical setup on each machine.
These things are hard to localize without being physically present
before the machines.
