Cisco Routing

I currently am using a 2621 cisco router to route traffice for two lans connected via fiber. Currently the 2621 is configured with a fastethernet port for each lan. Each of these ports is in turn connected to a 2950 which recieves the fiber from one lan and is dirrectly connected to the other. My problem is I would like to free up one of the fastethernet ports for something else. I attempted to create two subinterfaces on one of the fastethernet ports two accomidate both of the lans. Problem is once i did this the lan connected via fiber is unreachable. My cisco knowledge is limited and I'm not sure where I am going wrong. Below is the config for the two ports on the 2621 as is.

And the configuration of the two ports on the 2950 that are connected to the 2621

interface FastEthernet0/1
description to F0/1 Ewald Chev c2621
no ip address
spanning-tree portfast
!
interface FastEthernet0/2
description to F0/0 Ewald Chev c2621
no ip address

!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if more information is needed.

Well, you're pretty much stuck with the working config.
The switches need to be a trunk port to connect to sub-interfaces of the router, and so you need to create separate vlans for each of the connected networks/2950 switches, then connect them together over a trunk port...

I apoloigize ahead of time agiain my cisco knowledge is very limited. This can or can't be done with the equipment I am currently using? Could i create two vlans on the 2950 and then use one port as a trunk port like you mentioned to connect to the 2621 and carry the traffice for both LANS? If so can you give some info on how to configure that.

I'm with you on creating the subinterfaces, assigning a vlan to the 2950 switch, and setting the port on the 2950 switch that connects to the 2621 router to trunk. All of the traffic from the 4 subnet comes across fiber on port 25 of the 2950, so that would be the only port i need to set for switchport access vlan 2 correct?
