Soccer, do you mean you see link for the connection between routers? If so then the cable is okay. One end probably has 802.3 MDI/MDIX auto-crossover and you can use either cable. I'd continue checking your router and pc's net configuration. If this is the first time you've set up multiple levels of routers then you could have a simple addressing issue. Let us know more of the configuration.
If you don't see link between routers then... uh...nevermind.
