You need a straight cable when connecting a router to a switch, and a cross cable when connecting 2 switches, unless one or both switches has Auto-MDIX enabled.
IIRC a HP 4100gl switch doesn't support Auto-MDIX, but a Cisco 3560 does, with the caveat that you need to turn it on on a per-interface basis, like so: interface FastEthernet 0/x mdix auto You need to be running 12.2(25)SEE or newer for that to work.
