at the end of dmesg I found:
...
parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP,ECP,ECPPS2]
parport0: detected irq 7; use procfs to enable interrupt-driven
operation.
parport0: no IEEE-1284 device present.
NET3 PLIP version 2.3-parport gniibe@mri.co.jp
plip0: Parallel port at 0x378, using IRQ 7
plip0: transmit timeout(1,77)
Sometimes (not always) I get this timeout messages on either
machines. Sometimes with a 78 or 80 instead of 77. The message
changes if I unplug the cable. Unfortunately I don't understand
the meaning of this numbers. The timeout message only appears once
I tried to ping the other machine.
By "works fine" I tried to mean that every detail in the in
lsmod, ifconfig, route, etc. seems to be ok, and also that ping
to the local side of the connection works. Only the other side
fails.
I really hope someone can help me, because I'm kind of lost now.
Thanks again.
