The 2924 is an old switch so it may behave funny.
Yeah, the most common problem with these old Ciscos is that the
autoconfiguration randomly fails -- sometimes after having worked well
again and again for a long time.
Those are the same switches that almost never autonegotiate properly with
Sun HME (happy meal ethernet) cards. Every time I encounter them used with
Sun hardware they are hard set to max speed @ full duplex. In the case of
Sun gear, you had to hard set both the switch and the NIC. It was rather
painful.
