andrew,
are you sure that your crossover cable is correct? are you sure that there is 
continuity between each end of each wire? are you sure that the cards are 
really good?
i've seen problems with bad cables and cards that appear to be good but they 
fail some point of their testing. one of my dads boxes recently had the 
transmitter in the card go out. everything else worked just couldn't get 
anything off the machine... only could send stuff to it... THAT was a real 
PITA until i ran the diagnostic util that came with the card...
