Any Cisco router you have around you say Cisco 1000, 1600, 2500, 2600, And 3600 Series Routers. Any cisco router you have the below configurations will be able to workout. These configurations will help you connect your LAN onto internet, Provide basic security to your Local Area Network (LAN) so that no other network connects if not defined in the configs. 
I will go straight to what I have around me to have this configuration done successfully.


1. Router: Cisco 1600 series.
2. ISP Addresses: [IP Address: 192.168.23.11 SubMask: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 192.168.23.1].
3. LAN Addresses: [IP Address: 10.100.10.1 SubnetMask: 255.255.255.0]
4. Console Cable.

Step 1:
-    Connect your router into power and connect your console cable (will need an RJ-45 to DB-25 adapter). Power up that router without wasting a lot of time.
-    Open up your HyperTerminal: Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Communications -> HyperTerminal.
-    You can name anything your “Connection Description” mine is “ictmagazine” and choose 2nd icon.

-    Press OK , Then on the next interface choose a “COM” port your console is connecting to from the router. Mine was COM3 then press OK.
-    On the next screen restore to defaults “Restore Defaults” and you should be having something similar to that below.
Then press OK. You should be in your router now.
Well I will avoid you all the boring talk and just dive straight into the really thing “configuring a router to internet”, so let us go straight to step 2.
Please note that the names and password have used those are as per on my router. You can use anything you prefer to make sure your configurations are secure and matching to your standards.
..............Step 2:  Configure Basics
Router>en
Router# config t
Router(config)# hostname ICT
ICT(config)# enable password joinict
ICT(config)# enable secret m@g@z1n3
ICT(config)# ip name-server 208.67.222.222
...............Step 3: Configuring the Line console and vty 0 4
ICT(config)# line console 0
ICT(config-line)# password g3t1n
ICT(config-line)# login
ICT(config-line)# exit

ICT(config)# line vty 0 4
ICT(config-line)# password b0b0ut
ICT(config-line)# login
ICT(config-line)# exit
................Step 4: setting up the LAN interface
ICT(config)# interface Ethernet1/0
ICT(config-if)# Description ICTMAGAZINE LAN
ICT(config-if)# ip address 10.100.10.1 255.255.255.0
ICT(config-if)# ip nat inside
ICT(config-if)# no shutdown
ICT(config-if)# exit

....................Step 5: setting up the INTERNET interface (this interface has IP Addresses provided by Internet provider –ISP)
ICT(config)# interface FastEthernet0/0
ICT(config-if)# Description Broadband Internet
ICT(config-if)# ip address 192.168.23.11 255.255.255.0
ICT(config-if)# ip nat outside
ICT(config-if)# no shutdown
ICT(config-if)# exit


....................Step 6: Configuring NAT and Routing statements.
ICT(config)# ip nat inside source list 1 interface FastEthernet0/0 overload
ICT(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.23.1

...................Step 7: Configuring the Access-list 1 (This allows the LAN to get connection to the internet).
ICT(config)# access-list 1 permit 10.100.10.0 0.0.0.255

..................Step 8: Run show commands to confirm your configurations
ICT(config)# show interface ethernet1/0 (verify the LAN IP configuration)
ICT(config)# show interface fastethernet 0/0 (verify External/ISP IP configuration and status)
ICT(config)# Show ip route (show your routing statement if its correct)
ICT(config)# show ip nat translations (This is to confirm if your nat statements are right)
ICT(config)# show access-lists (configured access lists)

.................Step 9: Save your router configurations
ICT(config)#wr

This installation of PGP has not been initialized...

Issue

When attempting to open PGP Desktop in a PGP Universal Server managed environment, you receive the following error message and PGP Desktop fails to open:

This installation of PGP has not been initialized or the initialization settings have been deleted or damaged.

Solution

This error can occur when the PGP preference files on the computer have become corrupted on PGP Desktop clients. To resolve this issue, stop the PGP Services and delete the PGP preference files. When PGP Desktop is restarted, the preference files will be automatically re-created.

Use the following steps to delete the PGP preference files:

1. Stop the PGP services by clicking the PGP Tray icon in the Windows system tray and then click Exit PGP Services.
2. Browse to the following folder for your operating system:
   
   Windows XP - C:\Documents and Settings\%user name%\Application Data\PGP Corporation\PGP
   
   Windows Vista - C:\Users\%user name%\AppData\Roaming\PGP Corporation\PGP
   
   Windows 7 - C:\Users\%user name%\AppData\Roaming\PGP Corporation\PGP
   
   

   Note: If the Application Data/AppData folders are hidden, you must change the folder options for Windows Explorer to show hidden files and folders. In Windows Explorer, click Tools > Folder Options then click the View tab. In the Advanced Settings window, click Show hidden files, folders, and drives then click OK.

3. Delete the PGPprefs and PGPpolicy files.
4. Click Start > All Programs > Startup and then select PGPtray.exe
5. If prompted, enter your license information and authorize the PGP Desktop software.

[Exchange] How to update the Global Address Book in Outlook

When changes occur within the main (Global Address Book) on the Exchange server; computers running Outlook 2007 and 2010 may not automatically receive the updates. When this happens you may be missing new entries, see non-existent entries, or notice incorrect entries. Updating your address book synchronizes the cached Address Book with the Global address book, and may fix instances of mail that is bounced back to the sender.
Please use the steps below to update your Global Address Book.

Outlook 2007

1. In the Tools menu, point to Send/Receive, and then click Download Address Book.

2. In the Offline Address Book dialog box, make sure that the Download changes since last Send/Receive check box is checked.

3. Click OK.
4. Your Outlook Global Address book is now up-to-date.

Outlook 2010

1. Click File Tab, Click on Account Settings, and then click Download Address Book.

2. In the Offline Address Book dialog box, make sure that the Download changes since last Send/Receive check box is checked.

3. Click OK

Spell Check in Outlook 2010 not working?

Posted: Tuesday, October 19th, 2010 by Ted
We recently ran across an issue with one of our customers who upgraded only Outlook to 2010 while keeping the rest of Office at 2007. They called in stating that Outlook’s spell checker wasn’t working anymore so Kevin found the fix:

When users upgrade just Outlook, not the whole Office Suite, it doesn’t know where to look for Word as its editor, since it is also looking for Word 2010. This means the auto correct features won’t work. Here is the fix:
All you have to do is copy winword.exe to the office14 folder.
Example:
Copy Winword.exe from here C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\
to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14

Make sure that you copy, not move the file or there could be other issues that you’ll run across but this will do the trick!
