>From the ifconfig output it is obvious that there is a problem with "cable 2". It is either the cable or the network interface card. They should har lights that should be lit when everything is corret. For instance are the lights the same on both of xl0 and xl1? There could also be some kind of issue with auto negotiation. Do you have any other network equipment at hand that you can use to check the cable and network cards? Are you really sure you are using cross over cables? In my experience ADSL Modems are made like a switch and therefor has no problem beeing connected to a host directly. Your other connection is between hosts and therefor (in the 100MBit case) must use a "special" cable. You can use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_crossover_cable to verify that you have an crossover cable.
