Do not use 126.0.0.0 addresses, that is public address space assigned delegated to APNIC and currently assigned to "Japan Nation-wide Network of Softbank Corp." Use RFC1918 address space for private networks, i.e. subnets within 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, and 192.168.0.0/16. It is extremely bad practice to use anything other than RFC1918 addresses in your private network, even for point to point links. It's not likely to break the point to point link, but might cause random connectivity issue to servers operated by arm.com (and other parts of Softbank).
You can also use 169.254.0.0/16 addresses, which are defined as "link-local" by RFC3927. They are normally used for automatic configuration (where the addresses are picked automatically in the absence of a DHCP server), but you can assign them manually if you want. Those addresses must not be routed.
Do not configure a default gateway on point to point links (unless you are using that link to connect to the Internet, that will cause problems for any traffic trying to reach the Internet. Having an erroneous default gateway configured could cause various problems.
Can you do a simple ping from one host numeric address to the other? I.e. "ping 192.0.2.1" on Windows, or "ping -n 192.0.2.1" on Linux (putting in the appropriate addresses you are actually using).
