Details!  Are you using WICs and if so which ones, external CSUs, or a 
back-to-back cable?

Could you post configs?  

What does "show interface" reveal?

It's better (at least for me) if you spend a bit more time filling in the
details in the first post to the list, instead of a generic "this doesn't 
work" type of posting.  In many cases you'll find that in the process of 
gathering enough information to describe the problem in detail, you'll find
the solution yourself.  

At a minimum, a "show running-config" and "show interface" for both 
routers would be a good start.  "show version" is nice to have as well.

>From the limited information you supplied, I'd look for:

Clocking applied to DCE side (or one WIC)

Proper cable, with DCE where you want it (proper crossover if CSU/WIC)

"no shutdown" on interfaces in question

Encapsulation, address, and mask configuration consistency.
