HowTo connect a Cisco 2950 switch behind iptables?

Hi all,
I have a Fedora 3 Box with 2 nics setup up as a firewall.
I can connect another server to the firewall and get connected to the Net just fine. This doesnt work when I connect the switch to the iptables box. Obvysly I am missing something - can someone point me in the right direction?

Here is my setup

---WAN-->[iptables box]---->[cisco switch]--->[servers]

Thanks,
    Brandon Evans

Maybe you have forgotten to configure your cisco switch? Wrong VLAN maybe?

This turns out to be some sort of kernel issue. As soon as I upgraded to 2.6.13-1.1526_FC4, the switch started working fine.
