The first thing I was thinking you should check is if you can communicate with any machines at all. How are you connected to these machines? Through a hub or directly. If directly, are you using the correct crossover cable? I'm guessing both machines are running Linux. Some have built in firewalls that like to take over at random intervals if not turned off. I would make sure your hardware is connected correctly then make sure your iptables is clear(iptables -L & iptables -t nat -n -L). Then ping a machine on both interfaces. Once you are sure that you can connect to machines on both interfaces, then start working on your rules. I'm sorry if this is to basic and you have tried all these things. :)
