I currently am working with Cisco Catalyst 2940-8TF Layer 2 switches with IOS 12.1(22)EA10a .

They are configured for TACACS authentication when connecting to the switch via telnet.

I am trying to set them up so that when the web interface is accessed that it also uses TACACS authentication. It is using the enable password. I have configured the following 2 commands which I expect should work, but instead, when I enter these commands, username/password do not work, nor does the enable password.

ip http server

ip http authentication tacacs

Am I missing something?

Is there a difference between using the disable option and the 'no' option. Example:

spanning-tree portfast disable

no spanning-tree portfast

Is there a difference between those 2 commands?

Is it possible to install XP Pro SP2 and use a WINNT directory instead of the default WINDOWS directory?

I used to have an ISO file that I used as backup in case my XP CD became unuseable. Now I can't find it. How can I take my CD and create the file again? (I didn't do this originally, I had a friend do it for me, but we are not in touch anymore)

Is it possible to open the "Manage" window from the command prompt? The manage option you can get to by right clicking My Computer and choosing manage.

I work for a company with over 1000 desktop PCs and a fairly sophisticated network infrastructure. Each computer that is built (All PCs run XP pro) has a shortcut to a web page on our local intranet. The shortcut is located in the All Users\Desktop profile. The problem is that this shortcut was created before the web page itself was completed. They have now gone live with this page, but the link is not correct, there is one word that needs to be changed.

Is there a way to copy the correct link from one computer and apply it to all computers in the company, via a batch file or similar? Or will I have to just do this individually for each computer. I'm pretty sure our corporate IT dept. can make sure each PC runs a script at the next startup to fix this, but I'm trying to avoid asking them.

I know my PC is capable. System board and NIC. But is there a program that I can use to send the magic packet to utilize this function?

At work we use SMS, but obviously that aint gonna work on a little home network.

I disabled my Windows key via the registry a long time ago and forgot the code to re-enable it. I've done some searching but haven't seen anything real concrete. Thanks in advance

How can I make changes to this registry for a particular user that is not an administrator? Do I need to add them to the local admin group to make changes?

I want to create a batch file that will copy files from the local drive (c:) to a network drive after I click the shutdown option in XP Pro. It seems that the network connections are closed before the script can be run. Does anyone know how I can do this?
