I find it interesting that eth0 on the second machine doesn't 
specifically say "100baseTX-FD", but I'm not sure if that's it or not.  
You could try forcing it to 100Mb/s and full-duplex with mii-tool and 
see if that helps any.

Also, just for grins -- are there any errors incrementing on either of 
the eth0 interfaces on the two machines in ifconfig?  Could always be a 
bad cable... especially if you see CRC errors, for example.
