Use SHO instead of SH. :-) Are you running portfast on all switch interfaces except uplink interfaces?

We just installed a Cisco 4000 in the main IS room and put a couple of 2950's in two of our wiring closets. Now, we've got a nice gigabit backbone running.
Just a word of warning though. When using the SH shortcut to show interface, make sure you're at the right level of privelege (for want of a better word). We'd only had the equipment in place for a couple of weeks when I logged onto one of them. I'm not sure how I did it, but when I did enter the shortcut (sh) to look at the gigabit interface, I was at the wrong level. Instead of saying show interface, at this level the shortcut meant shutdown the interface. Oops. A minute or so later people from Lab and MI were calling wondering why they coulnd't connect to the HCIS system. Took a few days to live that down!

If you are running a business of more than 3 -4 computers and no Internet connection, an unmanaged switch might be tolerable.
If not....
You definitely want a managed switch. You will be able to see the interface statistics, network statistics and the like. A 2950-12 or 24 port works great.
Amazing deal. Cisco 2950T-24 24 ports 10/100 and 2 1000BT copper connections. great for X-over uplink or GBit to a server.
By doing a show interface FastEthernet0/1 (or whatever port your machine is plugged into) you will see collision, runts, giants, interface speed, duplex and more. Helpful in troubleshooting machines/networks. Also helps to be able to shut a port off during a DoS or virus outbreak!
