Cabling is always the first thing to check in these types of issues.
Sure, he may need a T1 crossover but maybe the cable was made
incorrectly or the connections are not crimped well.  Just because
someone says they have a crossover cable does not mean that it is OK.
Again, check the cable (physical layer one)

Thanks,
Steve
