Kent, I hope I get to contribute.
Check the cable. I have seen in the past problems were the link lights on the ethernet interface would be on but one of the pins 1,2,3,6 was cut, but there was no communication. Also, set both the switch and router to 100/FD if the switch can support it. Check to see if ethernet 0 has the right encapsulation, ARPA. "line protocol is {up | down | administratively down} Indicates whether the software processes that handle the line protocol believe the interface is usable (that is, whether keepalives are successful) or if it has been taken down by an administrator" If I left anything out to check, or please correct me if I am wrong.

Ethernet 1 and 2 are normal and have line up, protocol up. Ethernet 0 is down with line up , protocol down. There is a link light on both the Ethernet 0 interface and switch port. This is not a duplex issue since I have already set the Ethernet 0 interface to auto negotiate and back to 100full.
