2950 connected to 3548 gi works, fa does not

I have a 2950G at my desk that I use to connect devices I am working on. Right now I have a pile of 3548s I need to upgrade to WC17 and config. I much prefer to use TFTP vs xmodem to upload the new ios. I thus connected one port on the 2950 to one on the 3548. When I use an fa port I get no link light and down-down status. When i use 1000-BASET gbics I get connectivity. I have the exact same configs on both ports. For the 2950 i have switchport mode access and switchport access vlan 521 on both fa0/47 and gi0/2. I have blank configs on the 3548 on fa0/48 and gi0/1. When i connect between the 2 gbics I get up/up when I connect between the 2 FAs i get down/down. This doesn't make any sense! Is there something I am missing/ I am running 12.0(5)WC16 on the 3548 and 12.1(22)EA9 on the 2950G.

Thanks for the assistance!

Please check the cable that you are using to connect between the two FA ports. You might be using a straight cable. You have to use a cross-over cable between the switch ports.
