It is posible that you are using a 'straight' ethernet cable, these
are usualy used to connect a workstation to a hub or switch, as
opposed to a 'cross-over' ethernet cable wich is usualy used to
connect two workstations to each other directly without a hub.

Some newer ethernet equipment has an auto-sensing function that allows
it to adjust to the cable being used. This could be that one of your
PC's has an auto-sensing ethernet card and the other does not.

Try connecting the cross over cable from PC to your modem and check
whether you get the link up.
