Hello,
Yes, the 2950 does support a DHCP Server and/or DHCP Relay functionality. However, it is strongly limited: on these platforms, there can be at most one SVI in the no shutdown state. That means that a 2950 can provide DHCP Server or Relay services only to a single directly-connected VLAN.
There was a similar issue discussed here:

It is not common to run a DHCP Server or a Relay service on a switch, anyway. Do you need it?
when I hook up another switch to this switch it doesnt initialize the port or try to connect?
I do not quite understand this description. However, you may need to use a cross-over cable, as 2950 do not have the auto-cross (auto-MDIX) functionality.
Best regards,
Peter
