Don't forget to check/validate the HW. Make sure you swap out the cable. I have often seen a cable with a bad pin on either the tx or rx sides - usually oxidation on the connectors. Remember that the "link" light only denotes connectivity one-way so you can have a light at one end and still have a bad cable.
Offhand, I do not recall if the local link light means rx ok or tx ok. (anyone???) (You can also have nasty stuff like split pairs where the wires can test ok on a pair scanner but won't transfer data at substantial rate or distance - but seeing as you don't see any data one-way I presume this is not the problem.) dbc.
