Most likely, the two computers still can't send packets to each other.  Make 
sure you are using the correct type of cable.  You'll need a crossover cable 
if neither side is a 1Gbit card.  You should probably use a crossover cable 
anyway.

Make sure the cable runs to/from the physical port that is eth0 on both side.

There could be some routing issues, too.  But that would only be if one of 
your other ports was using a 192.168.0.x address as well, or if you've got 
some routing customizations.

Until you can get the pings to work ("X packets transmitted, X received, 0% 
packet loss") any other sort of network protocol is not going to work either.
