To connect a hub to a hub (without autosensing ports or a cross-over button), or a computer NIC to another computer NIC on an Ethernet, the cable has to be crossed-over (1->3, 2->6; or greens swap w/ orange, whatever's easier). If you looked at your NIC's, and they provide LED's for link detection, they're probably not lit now; when you use the cross-over, they should light up.
