Cisco 3640 and wic-1adsl speed problems

Historical platform note (updated July 2026): This Cisco 3640/WIC-1ADSL investigation concerns retired equipment. Use current platform telemetry and vendor documentation when diagnosing modern DSL or WAN performance.

I recently decided to plug my wic-1adsl card into a 3640 router because my 2620 had a power supply failure. I noticed that the cisco 3640 ran very slow, and speed tests topped out at 2.6mbps downlink speeds. For a while I couldn’t figure out why a router that is faster with more memory would run slower than my 2620 router. I later discovered the reason for the slowness was because of a bandwidth limit on the nm-1fe1r2w card I was using to give me wic slots.

Outlook 2003 error setting up profile after uninstalling office 2007

This is a problem that I run into quite alot as most new PCs come with the Office 2007 trial pre-installed. When you try to setup Outlook 2003 for the first time you get the following error

In order to fix this error you have to rename ‘mapisvc.inf’ one in

Fixing the SKU01A.CAB and other office cab file issues

Anyone who has used office 2003 has noticed that when switching domains or logging in as a new user Microsoft Office ask you to insert the cd to cache files needed to start. In some cases it asks for files from older office versions that have been upgraded, sometimes you don’t even have the original cd. To solve this problem you can make a simple change to the registry that tells office not to expect cached files off the installation cd.

An overview of CISCO IOS Security features as related to packet filtering.

�The Cisco IOS has many powerful security features that enable network engineers to protect their internal network. The Cisco IOS is capable of intrusion detection, deep packet inspection, and stateful firewall features. Setting up IPS allows the admin to push intrusion detection to the network edge. The Cisco IPS feature set can scan for spyware, viruses, worms, Trojans, and network intrusions by receiving updated signature files from Cisco. If a packet or series of packets matches a particular signature the router can, send an alert, drop the packet, or reset the connection of the offending user. In this way the network engineer can better protect the network by acting on suspicious packets before they can pose a risk to the network infrastructure, another advantage of pushing IPS duties to the network edge is it allows offending packets to be dropped before they take up finite network resources. �In large networks as much as 10 percent of network resources could be consumed by packets that ultimately will be dropped for security reasons deeper in the network.

Cisco WIC-1ADSL config for 1800 series router and ios 12.4

Historical platform note (updated July 2026): This Cisco 1800/IOS 12.4 example targets retired hardware and legacy PPPoE syntax. Validate every command and provider requirement on supported equipment before use.

This config is for the Cisco 1800 series router running IOS 12.4. IOS 12.4 has some command and syntax changes in reguards to interfaces and configuration commands for PPPOE. This config was submitted by my good friend Pedro Rivera.

Configuring WIC-1ADSL on Cisco 2600 with PPPOA and PPPOE

Historical platform note (updated July 2026): This Cisco 2600/WIC-1ADSL example targets retired hardware and IOS-era syntax. Preserve it for reference only; validate every command and provider requirement on supported equipment.

Configuring a Cisco router to use the WIC-1ADSL card is one of the most commonly asked question by people in the Cisco forums. There are some interesting and compelling reasons to use a WIC card instead of connecting PPPOE through the ADSL modem in bridged mode. One of the most compelling reasons is the ability to use advanced QOS features such as interleaving and fragmentation. Because the DSL WIC card shows up as an ATM WAN interface, the router is able to perform those advanced Quality of Service features. The overhead of encapsulating a packet in PPPOE and sending it to the modem over some length of cable is also a reason to use a WIC card instead of the modem.

Vista Complete-PC backup to network share

Version note (updated July 2026): Windows Vista and its Complete PC Backup workflow are retired. Treat this post as archival material and use a supported Windows backup and recovery design today.

The real magic of the new Vista backup tool is the second option Complete-PC backup. This feature takes advantage of the HAL independence of Vista and allows you to backup your entire system at one time using the magic of volume shadow copies to backup open files. The backup is also stored in a virtual machine file which means that you can boot, run, and extract files from your backup using Microsoft Virtual PC. This is a really neat feature! If the previous feature isn�t enough for you Microsoft will let you restore your pc by booting to the Windows Vista install DVD and selecting the restore option.
