Cisco ip phone set-up The first thing you should probably do is factory reset the phone so that you have full access to the configuration menus. After that, the conf is based on whatever VoIP system you are using. You can find the admin guide for the phone here: cisco.com/en/US/docs/voice_ip_comm/cuipph/7906g_7911g/6_1_3/… To factory reset it, see the "Resetting or Restoring the Cisco Unified IP Phone" section. |

Understanding IOS Firewall I have never seen an ACL that when active doesn't implicitly deny that which is on the accept or allow list. There should be no reason to use anything but the allow statements where necessary. |

slow DHCP leasing have you tried a tcpdump (ports 67 and 68 for DHCP) to see what is happening with the signaling when a computer is sending a DHCP request? |

How to stop spammers from sending spam as me Its just like snail mail. Anyone can write your address on the envelope to make it look like you sent it, but it doesn't mean you did. In email its just changing a few fields of data to have the same effect. |

Win 7 & Windows Server 2003 Just to clarify, is the username/password combo that you are using on the windows 7 machine, windows 2003 machine, or both? |

RAM Size vs Speed That slight change in speed will hardly be noticeable compared to the gain of 1 GB of RAM. |

Changing name servers for website only the nameserver holds your records, you only need to change the records associated with what you want to happen, not the entire nameserver. You may mean A records, not nameserver in this case, that is what is associated with domain name to ip resolution. |

Ethernet switch capacity question more or less, but there is packet overhead and the ability of the switch CPU to cycle the information of 48 ports at one. If its a switch designed for this, no issues, but if its a set of daisy-chained 12 ports, there will be major issues. Its all in the equipment that you choose. |

Getting My “Foot in the Door” installation work is good, it gets you familiar with the equipment, standards and especially layer 1, which can be VERY important in troubleshooting issues later. I can't tell you how many brilliant techs fail to solve certain problems because they don't even consider wiring as an issue. |

DNS Configuration: Am I doin' it right? It may take some time for the changes to propagate. Some hosts can take 24-48 hours, some will have it updated in 4-6 hours. |

DNS Configuration: Am I doin' it right? They are faster (1 query vs 2 queries). It is especially useless when you are just looking at the same server, CNAMEs are best for pointing to a server outside your domain, see this article: rscott.org/dns/cname.html |
