For example, if the ip address is on A1 celd, you can use folowing and then paste and copy where is necesary: =TEXT(LEFT(A1,FIND(".",A1,1)-1),"000")&"."&TEXT(TRUNC(MID(A1,FIND(".",A1,1)+1,3)),"000")&"."&TEXT(TRUNC(MID(A1,FIND(".",A1,FIND(".",A1,1)+1)+1,3)),"000")&"."&TEXT(TRUNC(MID(A1,FIND(".",A1,FIND(".",A1,FIND(".",A1,1)+1)+1)+1,3)),"000") Also you can use a simple VBA.

I have a issue with a existing vlan 34 serving serveral access uni/ems service. engineering is wanting to add a actelis 2300 off a access port and serve the customer with a actelis 624 at the prem. this is a new config for us and my question is the poeple who know the actelis gear is wanting to set this up as a trunk as if the actelis is an extention of the TLS network we are thinking we must remain config'd as access sence the existing service is all access/ems.we are using 6509's catos. Any thing else needed please let me know. I have the native VLAN thing down OK.

Tue, 15 Feb 2011 21:27:53 +0000 http://blog.zztopping.com/?p=75#comment-16919 Let's say you have a stack and want to renumber the members, however the 2 members in mind have ports labeled/etc. Do these names follow the rename? In other words gi3/0/4 is labeled "Server1", I renumber this switch to 2, will gi2/0/4 inherit the name "Server1" after it reloads? More importantly, I'm concerned with VLAN memberships, speed, duplex, etc. Let’s say you have a stack and want to renumber the members, however the 2 members in mind have ports labeled/etc. Do these names follow the rename?

I used Putty and bound my local loopback addresses on ports 139 and 445 to the tunneled IP addresses' ports 139 and 445 on the remote network. 5) Start the "Message-oriented TCP/IP and TCP/IPv6 Protocol (SMB session)" driver. 6) Browse the remote shares like you used to do before KB942624. 6) Celebrate! We just found a way around the Port forwarding 445 for SMB and SSH problem! I tried this on two different Vista machines: One with the KB942624 patch applied and the other with SP1 integrated in. It worked on both. No blue screens or any other quirks that I could see. Only problem is that you must bind the port before starting SMB.sys each time you start Windows. You can't stop the device once it's started (or at least I couldn't). Again, I didn't come up with this approach on my own. Theultramage's post pointed me in the right direction. Okay…thanks to theultramage’s insight and a bit of experimentation, I may have stumbled upon a workaround: Try this (but create a system restore point, do a backup, and cross your fingers first!):

1) Go to “Device Manager” select View and enable “show hidden devices.”
2) Expand “Non-Plug and Play Drivers” and set “Message-oriented TCP/IP and TCP/IPv6 Protocol (SMB session)” to start on demand.
3) Reboot
4) Bind port 445 with your application. I used Putty and bound my local loopback addresses on ports 139 and 445 to the tunneled IP addresses’ ports 139 and 445 on the remote network.
