I've seen this problem many times. Sounds like your problem may be in your cable. Since you said that you can connect to the router with your PC if you set your PC to 10baseT, it seems like your cable may not be Cat5 compliant. Twisted pair handles 10mhz easily without being Cat5 compliant, but 100BaseT equipment is very sensitive to cabling standards.
Also, with auto-sensing dual speed ports, they will always try to connect at 100mhz if the ports on both ends of the cable support it. Your best bet would be to use a fully Cat5 compliant cable, so that your switch and router can communicate at the full 100mhz.
Be sure to use Cat5 compiant cable and terminate the cable in accordance with a Cat5 compliant standard, such as 568a or568b.
