Oh yea, and keep the
interface gi2/1
switchport access vlan 2
just don't assign an ip address to it. This interface should be the interface connecting to the ISP directly.

My internal VLAN is 100.
How do I configure the switch to connect my ISP external and internal addresses.

Ok I understand now.
Well we won't be needing that NAT config...
Make sure you have
interface vlan 100
ip address 65.x.x.x x.x.x.x
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 interface vlan 2
then you will just assign the ports that the servers are connected to to VLAN 100
for example:
interface fa 0/10
switchport access vlan 100
spann portfast <---- optional but should be used.
no sh

You'll want to get into VLAN 2 and the ISP external address to it and make it the NAT outside port.
interface vlan 2
ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x
ip nat outside
And the VLAN100 ip and NAT inside.
interface vlan 100
ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x (this will be the default gateway for the hosts on VLAN100)
ip nat inside
Next continue with the NAT configuration.
ip access-list INSIDENAT permit (internal network address and subnet mask)
ip nat inside source list INSIDENAT interface VLAN 2 overload
And that should do it.
