Reply: (edit)Do you have any conflicts with your hardware? Are your NICs setup correctly? Try to ping you loopback (127.0.0.1)
Did it work? If yes I would check your cables. Take it from me (CCNA) 99% of the time it is a Layer 1 problem. I would put money down that your cable is bad or the ends need to be re-crimped/replaced.

Reply: (edit)One other thing, go into your device manager and set your NICs to run at 10Mbps/half-duplex. This will only use 2-pair instead of 4-pair. An incorrect speed could cause this problem. More than likely your NE2000 cards are only 10Mbps. I have had similar problems in the past.
