I feel like an idiot. I should have known that I can't just connect two machines with an ethernet cable. On the plus side, I was eventually able to get a stable IrDA connection between the two...but I can see why it never really caught on.

All Macs with gigabit ethernet have automatic crossover, so it's not all that surprising that you thought that a cable from one machine to the other would just work.
