Hi there I have two Cisco Catalysts (2950 series) and I would like to have a main one that connects to the router/modem via ethernet port 3 and then on ethernet port 2 I have an ethernet cable plug into port #1 on the second switch I have connected it and nothing happens could any one please find a video link or tell me how to do this with ease this is only my second day of consoling and owning a managed switch.

Is your setup looks something like this?
Router
|Port 3
Switch 1
|port2
Switch 2
Its not quite clear what you are asking...could you please describe what is exactly needed?
As you have connected another switch to the 2950 what is the port configuration? Is that access/trunk? Can you try configuring trunk port between them?
HTH

Kierangio,
Can you please let me know what exactly you want to achieve here?
Back to back switch or Switch to router connection?

Basically plug an ethernet cable into a port of switch one into and into switch 2. like this: http://www.alliedtelesis.com.hk/manuals/S107V110WEBa/Images/GS950-8_RSTP_Point-to-Point.png .

Yes you can connect. As I said connect the port and configure it to be a trunk port to avoid the STP else you may have to disable the STP for this port.
