Hmmmm...THAT'S interesting.
I'll go ahead and ask the obvious questions:
Have you checked the router setup, do you have nat enabled?
Have you switched ports on the router for your ethernet cables?
Are both your machines on the same local subnet?
When the machines cannot connect at the same time, are they both booted to
FC or XP, or does it matter?
