I don't know the wiring schematics or what might be wrong, but I know a mildly cheap way to fix it and give you expandibility in the future. 5 port 10/100 hubs are pretty cheap and two normal store bought cables would fix it. If it doesn't, then there is probably something wrong with the nic or the drivers. I've never made a 100BaseT crossover cable but I have made 10BaseT Crossover and they never failed me. when I make regular patch cables, 100BaseT works fine, but the hub/Switch does the corssover for me automatically. Hope this helps and gives you some more Ideas. Its also handy if you get a hub with an uplink port so if you ever get DSL/Cable modem going, both computers can access the modem if it only has 1 port.
