I am just starting with my maxnc also.
When the mach3 program was runing the motors were energised ( the handwheels were stiff)
My problem was the estop. I went into the config screen and changed the default setting for active hi/lo.

Try reading through all this stuff about Max nc. I know others have used it and it has worked for them.
You would have found links to this stuff if you had read the other posts I suggested b4.

If you have encoders on your MaxNC you need to use the Max CL Mode enabled setting. It sounds like you are using the Max NC-10 Wave Drive setting. It has four signal wires per motor and your setup only uses two (that is why two motors are moving together.).
