[PLUG] SOT: Personal Router and CISCO switches

I've been running it to this problem and don't have the financial 
resources to sort it out.  Hopefully someone here can point me in the 
rightdirection.

I've discovered that the personal firewalls' uplink port won't sync with
some CISCO 2900 and 3500 Enterprise switches.  Tried all the regular
tricks (cross-over cable, tested cables, etc.) but but the only way is to
go through a 'cheap' hub or switch then to the CISCO switch.

I think I can lay my hands on a new LinkSys DSL/Router but if anyone has a 
better idea I'm open.

BTW, the reason I'm doing this is so individual offices in a
building/complex are firewalled from each other (and the world) but using 
the same big pipe.
