So how did you fix it? Share the solution, not just the
problem ;)

What's usually used is a mini hub (which is good to have

For two machinews w/o a hub, yes you need a special
crossover cable or converter. (If you get one, may I
suggest you label it carefully and prominently; I had one
that caused a lot of trouble when people kept grabbing it
when troubleshooting something else.
