    Reset Cisco PIX 525 ??

    I've recently obtained a cisco pix 525 firewall, it powers up but stops booting when it states its the secondary firewall in a fail over system. It won't let me boot past that point. Is there a way to restore/reset the unit so that it can be configured as the primary firewall ?? thanks

    CISCO - where to start ??

    excellent !!! thanks for the links... I also assume the ethernet tranciever will act as a type of switch as well, or will the AUX RJ-45 jack come into play at some point ?? *edit- I see on ebay 2500 series routers going for about $12 !! so is there a newer model that would be more sutable for...

    CISCO - where to start ??

    Thank you for all the info ... I was able to obtain (for FREE) a cisco 2501 router, now after a little research i've found that I need to use the console port with a crossover cable and an adapter to my PC to the serial port (please correct me if i'm wrong) in order to configure the router. The...

    CISCO - where to start ??

    I'd like to know the best way to go about starting to learn some cisco technology ??? I would like to just pick up a book and start learning, but from what i've read so far cisco language is very cryptic and better learned by "hands on". I've have seen training guides that include network...

    Has anyone actually used the future CPU port on ASROCK mobos?

    I haven't used any board like this... It has been my experience that Uli chipsets are hit or miss depending on hardware installed on the board. Personally I tend to stay away from "every-upgrade-imaginable-on-one-motherboard" deals. my 2 cents. I would assume you can purchase the...

    What game is this ??? (NES)

    OK... I can remember most of the NES games I played as a child, but the game I will try and describe from memory slips my mind (the name that is) It was a top down shooter where you fly these little round ships (there may have been some sidescrolling parts) the one thing I do remember about...

    BF2142 demo - I can't even begin to put into words...

    Wait.... What ??? So it's 2142 and we have the technology to hover with "magic light", but only over earth and not water ??? Thats dumb. A little more imagination could've done wonders for this game. my 2 cents

    Dell XPS 410 @ [H] Consumer

    It's good to see that [H]Ocp is doing so much for the industry and making the big (and not-so-big)OEMs step up thier game and demand the support that the customer is paying for (or getting as an added value). I like the fact that you go the extra mile after the article is released to develop...
