Default Crossover Connection

I have two computers connected to a router and then to a DSL modem. I could
not get mutiplayer to work on any of my games so I decided to try using the
crossover method. I installed a 2nd NIC card in each computer and then
connected the crossover cable. Thats about as far as I got that I know is
done correctly. From there I found directions on the internet to setup
uinque IP number for each card and I did that. The directions said to ping
each computer to make sure it working. When computer 1 pings computer 2, I
get a response. When computer 2 pings computer 1, it times out without a
reponse. What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks - George
