Hi,
I know that if it's not an uplink port, I use cross-over. My doubt is about connecting through the uplink ports!! I mean I want to use the uplink port of both switches. Do I use straight-through or cross?
Thanks

Do not worry about cross-over cables, the switch will automatically adapt. You may want to pay more attention to setting up the port as a trunk and figuring out whether or not you want spanning tree on the switch and other important config parameters than the type of patch cable to use. I don't think Cisco still makes switches that are not able to auto cross-over.

You may wish to investigate the Cisco 2950 Config Wizard:
