man there are so many possibilities tht it aint working

check whether the networking cables is clamped correctly with those orange and green wires 1,2,3,6 kinda something

well first try giving some ip address to both the computers like 190.168.100.1 and 192.168.100.2 and try pinging one computer from another

On 190.168.100.1
Start>run>cmd
type "ping 190.168.100.2 -t"
without the quotation marks if u get a constant reply than ur lan connections are working fine

do check in the system properties that the ethernet card has the right drivers

i guess these are some of the common trouble shooting tips . try with these things n wht others have to suggest and then post ur xperience with it

Are you using a hub/switch or connecting the two computers directly ?

If you're connecting the two computers directly without a hub or switch, you have to use a cross-over cable. I.e., the send and receive lines have to be interchanged, which is not the case if you're using a hub. If you need more details, ask.
