All gigabit devices auto crossover so no crossover is necessary if
both sides are gigabit. I am  not sure this is the problem though. It
looks like ipv4 forwarding needs to be turned on on the machine that
has 2 nics. However I may be wrong as I was a little confused with the
discussion of the two networks and their purpose.
