can you find a hub somewhere? that will simplify the twisted cable
requirement for the cat5 cables.
if you have both eth0 cards set up you only need to add the hosts file in
etc. Both boxes will see each other and you should be able to ping each
from the other. If you cannot do this let me know and I will help with
other directions.
There is a home network howto that I read a while back,, found it:

I used this to start.
