There are no vlans configured and as far as I am aware no extra config was done on the "working" 2950. However when I connect both switches I have no link light on the ports I've connected (with straightthrough and crossover cable). I'd like to connect both new 2950 switch to the one in the other classroom and have ran cabling to do this. I have set up second class room and put another 2950 switch into it.

This 2950 switch is connected to another switch back in the comms room on port 24, connectivity is fine on this switch. One has a 2950 switch in it where machines in that room are connected.
