Address Translation Frustration
I've been pulling my hair out on this, and I'm just about to throw in the towel. Before I did so, I figured I would see if anyone out there might know definitively if that's a good idea or not. I'm working with a Cisco 2620. This router…

Troubleshooting the Toolkit

Journalistic Excellence
Some more great reporting from the Charlotte Observer. Admittedly, it may be less a production of the newswriting staff than the technical folks who forgot to remove the "hedline goes here" fluff before publishing, but it's still amusing….
