Hello -
I am a noob trying to learn some cisco networking stuff. I am working on taking the CCNA test at some point (hopefully soon) but right now I am frustrated.
I have a Catalyst 3550 switch and 2610XM router connected with an ethernet cable. Currently I cannot get the port on the switch to open (lights are dark.) I run 'no shut' on the port (#13) but nothing happens. If I unplug the cable to the cisco router and plug in a Netgear router (that leads to the internet) into the same port, the port flickers amber for a while, then flickers green from then on.) I switched the cables, both work fine when connected between the switch and the Netgear router.
This was working at one point a couple of days ago. I had the Netgear router plugged into another port on the switch and could ping from the cisco router through the switch to the Netgear router. I thought I had figured things out, but a reboot disavailed me of that notion. (I know, I guess I didn't save my configuration, but I obviously still need to understand more, so its better that I didn't.) (I guess.)
When the problem is occuring, the below is what I am seeing on the two devices.

Like I said, going to the switch and typing "no shut" on interface 13 seems too have no effect. What am I missing?
