I think you might be right on this. I'm now configuring a 2948G and I see that all of my VLAN1 ports show up in 'show spantree' even if STP is disabled. If the port is in another VLAN it won't show up at all. So, STP probably wasn't even the cause the problems we were having earlier.
Thanks for everyone's help!

I think when you plug in a laptop to any available port on the same VLAN you'll see that it doesn't go thru STP phases and automatically goes into forwarding...
