Ah. Very good. Thank you joamon and hellbabe for those program names. I shall check them out. I also would enjoy a pile of 3650 switches. I like seeing the Cisco logo on things other than my computer screen, like on someone's shirt, a new piece of equipment, etc. Thank you for your post...

By the way, I have spent too many hours getting rid of trojans, viruses, etc---I made a boot floppy and ghosted the hdd's I need to a physical and network drive. I just reload OS these days, copy favorites, settings---if someone is careless enough to save pics on the company machines after...

Cool! I triple boot with SuSE, 2000 Advanced Server and XP Pro. I do some stuff with Cisco Access Control Server on the 2000. Linux I'm trying to learn---YAST seems to be very entertaining. Later. Tim

Is there a way to prevent unwanted users that have direct access to a Cisco router (or switch) from establishing a console session, say from a laptop, and doing a password recovery? Ponder this whilst I taketh my beauty nap. Thankseth Tim

Yes, I do. Even old stuff (1900 switches, 2500/2600/1700 routers) from ebay...do you copy and paste in Hyperterminal (or minicom, for Linux people like me), or type? Strange question, I know, but then again, are you being facetious or serious?

You may want to change your login and/or password since you have posted them here.

Is there a setting in the BIOS that allows for enhanced drive channels, like SATA and IDE? Mine is like that---can choose one IDE and 2 SATA channels, one of each, or enhanced, all channels.

Default packages for SuSE Linux would probably keep you entertained as well.

When you tested the 250gig drive, how did you do this? If you have Partition Magic, then it should tell you about discontiguous files. Later. Tim

Inside of drives are also sometimes black plastic. If the scratches are in the center of the platters, the servo probably did fail, and it would only take a second for the motor spinning at 7200rpm (assuming SATA) to do all of that. That sounds like a manufacturing defect---even out of warranty...

Hey---first off, when you originally had the NTLDR file disappear or go corrupt, did you by chance have a trojan or some other virus? Also, while the drive is slaved, right click on the bad drive, select properties, then tools, and check now (error-checking). It should say that it needs certain...

Good thing, because I actually never ran across that---you had me worried!

Fractional T1, frame relay---what bandwidth does the telco guarantee? If it's 768, then maybe try lowering the bandwidth on the serial interface to whatever the max guaranteed bw from the telco is. Other than that, you got me! Sorry. Tim

I never saw the output of show controllers of the second router. If you have a DCE attached to both ends, interface and line prot would be up, but you could not ping. I guess make double sure that the serials in question both have ip addresses, are in the same subnet---I would actually do a...

Depends---did you back up the old hard drive, and is it XP PRO, SP2 like this one? Try Norton Ghost, and backup the system to the new hard drive---it will migrate all the settings and everything. Later. Tim
