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

“There was an error locating one of the items needed to complete this operation. It might have been deleted”

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

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

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

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.

Hacked Iphone goodness

As promised here is some iPhone screenshots!!!.��

Iphone Fun

I have spent the last couple weeks breaking the Iphone in every way possible. I Now have it running as a mail server. One of the great things about the iphone is that it is running mac os x leopard, which is just version 9 of the darwin kernel. That means that once you get out of the ch-rooted environment on the phone, you can install the BSD subsystem. The BSD subsystem basically just adds back all the unix tools we have come to know and love. After that it is just a matter of compiling an embedded version of apache or your web server of choice. Next you can use NFS shares to mount more available storage. I will post some pictures here of some interesting screen shots. The arm cpu in the phone is actually quite fast. This of course is all just for iphun ( pun intended) however it is nice to have shell access on the phone. I do a lot of networking for a living and it is nice to have ssh and telnet on my phone. This makes it much easier to program routers and do many other things

MIT student arrested for fake bomb

An MIT student was arrested in Logan intl Airport for wearing a sweatshirt with a prototyping board on it and a 9 volt battery which lit up some led�s that said MIT course VI which is the numerical designation for computer and electrical engineering majors. The shirt which she has and has been wearing for a long time, was something that a class of students made as a project. The police surrounded her in the airport with automatic weapons and arrested her, then commented that she was lucky to be alive. As you can see from the link to the article below anyone who has half a brain can see that it is a piece of techno art. However I just wanted to post this to solicit your opinions about the fear of electronics in this country and the sad state of affairs. This is even worse considering that MIT is known for its research in embedded computers in clothing and the airport is right around the corner from MIT! Also she walked up to the airline desk and asked when a flight was coming in because she was picking up a friend. She did not even try to get through the security checkpoint.
