we had similar symptoms and without having much information from you, your problem may or may not be the same as mine--what we found was that even though we had forced the speed and the duplex on the switch, the server NIC's were still at auto detect. Once we changed the servers to 100/full the problems vanished. these were all intel servers running Win NT, Win2K and Linux. Needless to say it is now SOP for the sysadmins to set the speed and duplex on new servers :-)
do show port on the 4006 and sh interface on the 2950's and look at the type of errors...
