Change VLAN number and cannot ping default gateway

I have a question about configuring the VLANS on a Cisco switch.
I have a 2960 switch and have a 2811 router connected to it.
I have configured the switchport that is connected to the router as a trunk.
The interface on the router is configured with IP 192.168.1.1
I have workstations on the switch and have their default gateway set as 192.168.1.1.
I can ping the default gateway fine from my workstations when they are in the default VLAN 1.
Now I create a VLAN 100 and move all access ports to it.
I can no longer ping the default gateway of 192.168.1.1 and I'm not sure why?
Can the router not accept tagged packets unless setup with subinterfaces?

So you're saying I could also set the Native VLAN to 100, then the switch would not tag any traffic from VLAN 100 and the router could see it?

If I changed the default-gateway on the hosts to 192.168.100.1, then I would also have to change all of their IP addresses also...assuming a /24 mask.

Is there no way to set encap dot1q 100 on the interface instead of a subinterface?

Each VLAN will have a different IP addressing scheme. If you VLAN 1 is using 192.168.1.0, then VLAN 100 will have to be something other than 192.168.1.0.

Thanks. That's what I needed to know.
