Two 3825s won't talk to each other

We have two 3825s, and I'm struggling to get them to talk to each other. Interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0 (A HWIC-1GE-SFP with a

1000Base-T SFP) on each router is connected to the other with a tested straight cable - changing it to crossover makes no difference.

router1: interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0 description Connection to router2 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.252 negotiation auto

router2: interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0 description Connection to router1 ip address 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.252 negotiation auto

And a bit of output showing the line is up:

router1#show ip interface brief | include 0/0/0 GigabitEthernet0/0/0 10.0.0.1 YES manual up down

router2#show ip interface brief | include 0/0/0 GigabitEthernet0/0/0 10.0.0.2 YES manual up down

Now the problem - neither router can ping each other, and even though I believe these should show up as connected routes, they do not:

router2#show ip route | include 10.0.0 router2#

router1#show ip route | include 10.0.0 router1#

Can anyone let me know if there's anything else I can provide that will help, or ideally tell me what I'm doing wrong?
