As someone else suggested, I also think that the problem lies with the
2950. I have 2800 series routers connected to 2950s with newer IOS
releases and don't have a problem with autonegotiation.

On a side note, yesterday I was sitting in on a WebEx training session
for some expensive agent-less troubleshooting software and at one
point the sales engineer doing the session suggested that you should
always hard-set your ethernet settings. I didn't say anything because
I was a simply a guest sitting in on the session. I really wanted to
reach through my computer and slap him.
