Switch configs for network

Ok, Ill  try to explain this the best i can,
Have the workstations plugged into the switch(cisco 3500), then from the switch, fiber runs to a breakout point which runs to a fiber/cat-5 convertor which goes into a dell powerconnect switch, which connects to the network.  The workstations do not connect  to the network although the switches show up up.  Some errors i get though on the cisco are, Blocking Gigabitethernet 0/1 on vlan 1, inconsistent port type???  but when you restart a workstation the fastethernet ports say that the states are changed to up??  I suppose i need the basic setup configs for the gigabitethernet port so that the workstations can connect to the network.....

Thanks!!!!

 ip directed-broadcast

That is what everything looks like through out the configs. thats it.  TRATH, i tried the switchport mode access with no joy, The gig port shows up up but is amber when looking at the switch.

speed and duplex match, the switch will only do auto mode but are both at 1000mbs
this is the error i get after doing the switchport cmd
Blocking GigabitEthernet0/2 on vlan 1.
Inconsistent port type.

and a correction from my initial post, it is NOT connected to a fiber/cat-5 convertor, it is straight fiber into a combo port on a dell powerconnect 5324 switch.

Just 1 vlan

192.168.50.82 on the 5324
192.168.50.81 on the 3550

When i connect the gigabit port on the cisco to a port on the dell, and run the fiber to a combo port on the dell, the fiber works from dell switch to dell switch and i am able to connect to the network, but i need the dell switch to be used in a different spot so i need to know how to make the cisco talk to the dell over fiber....
