Sorry for the late response.  Left town.  The crossover cable was made by
someone and lent to me.  I tried two different ones.  The nic cards are
RTL 8139 and not sure about the other nic card yet.  I think a realtek
also.  It was configured with the detected driver from CENTOS install. 
Problem is on the new server I'm forgetting the passwords.  It is late at
night.  I'll sleep on this then get back to it.  I'm still confused as I
only fund one place on the internet with the same error and no answer. 
Almost seems like a hardware issue but no idea.

Thanks.
