Sean,
Many modern routers/switches can automagically do this.

Javad,
a) Does the P3/P4 machine have a 100MB port?
b) Have you checked the cables are OK, by temporarily swapping them for 
some "known good" cables?
c) It may be an idea to assign static IPs to the PCs and connect them 
with the cross over cable to rule out the router being the problem...
