home network not working!

i just linked 2 100MHz Linux kernel 2.4.2 boxes togeather using a direct cable connection, on two 3Com PCI network cards, using the EtherLink III chipset. Unfortuanately, when I boot both PCs, i get a loading interface: eth0 for five minutes, then a failed flag. No networking suppt. in windows, either. Anyone have a clue as to how to fix this?

You need a crossover cable instead of a typical cable. You can get one at your local electronix store.

Also, check your config on the Ethernet cards to make sure that there are no cautions.

Hope this helps.
