FastEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is down

We are upgrading our circuit from a 56K connection to 128k.  We have switched hardward from a Cisco 1720 router to a Cisco 1841 router with a TI-DSU/CSU card

The new circuit is a 128k Frame Relay with a 64k CIR.  The circuit is up and running but my users still cannot see our main office.  When I do a show int I get the message FastEthernet0/0 is up, line protocol is down.   However the serial interface with the DLCI is up.  In fact that is how I am able to remotely telnet into the router through the serial interface but cannot even ping the FastEthernet interface.  Serial0/0/0.103 is up, line protocol is up. Our remote office is down now due to this any help would be greatly appreciated.  I am including the configuration of the router for your review.

Please change these publicly known initial credentials through SDM or IOS CLI.
Here's the Cisco IOS command:

This has nothing to do with the Frame circuit.  Double check the cabling on the FastEthernet0/0 interface and make sure the cable to your LAN is plugged into the correct interface on the router.  Whats on the other end of the ethernet cabling?  Is the interface on the other end up?

The cable is plugged into the correct interface.  On the other end is an 8 port hub.  I sent them out to purchase a new hub incase the one they have went bad.  What do you mean is the interface on the other end up?

Ooops - didn't mean to be repetitive - I took too long to type.  Looks like JFrederick is all over this one...
The new switch fixed the problem - thank you for the input.
Hmmm....wonder if the new switch does auto-crossover sensing and the old didn't?
I truly think the switch is bad - but it is possible that the new one in auto sensing.  Hey can you tell me how do I close a questions.
