Dave,

Shutdown your FastEthernet interface on the switch and the router. Clear
mac-address-table dynamic, then put port security with the MAC address.
Putting port security on Cat3550 with the MAC address causes creation of a
static MAC address entry in CAM table and the switch won't let you do it
until dynamic entry is there.
