Without more information I would look at the following:
1) Do you have a switch/hub that does 10/100?
2) Also, do you have ethernet cards on either box?

If both are "yes" then consider passing args to the loading of the modules
for your ethernet cards such that they will be forced to use 10 or 100,
but not autosense. Autosensing has been a problem for many cards and
swicthes.
