I haven't used the Linksys switches. On the Netgear, the uplink port is actually both a normal port *and* an uplink port depending on if the button is pressed in or not. On mine I used the uplink port on both, and had the button pressed on *one* of them.
If yours is setup differently, and your ip addresses and netmask are set correctly (all on the same subnet?), then, well, a smarter man than me must take over from here.
