Ethernet 10base T splitter

Hello,
I've just spent the past four hours trying to get my two computers
to use the one ethernet port on the back of my 2wire Home portal, which
serves as a router and DSL modem. I bought a 10base T splitter from
radioshack, brought it home, and hooked it up. After a bit of tinkering,
I got my old computer to work, but my new one wouldn't. After four
hours, I've tried every trick I can think of, and some I didn't think
of, to no avail. My new computer /refuses/ to work when I use the
splitter. I've tried switching the wires around, re-adding the
ethernetcard 5 or 6 times for each compter, played with the 2wire
settings, played with the hosts, route, and network services. Is there
something I'm overlooking? Do I need some exotic network service? Or is
the splitter just crappy?
This is taken from my system log. It's what appears when I attempt to
activate eth0.

Help?
Thanks,
