Configuring Cisco Router as a DHCP server

If you want to configure Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) on PC clients, you currently have multiple options to choose for your DHCP server. One of the more common ways to accomplish this is by using a Windows or Linux server. However, most home networks get DHCP from their DSL or cable router.

Many administrators forget or don't even realize that DHCP is also available on Cisco IOS routers and switches. Keep in mind that DHCP is only available on newer IOS-based switches.

IE9 Printing Problems - Text is garbled when trying to print

Problem with printing some content from Internt Explorer in Adobe 9 Pro. The text is garbled.

Running Windows 7.  Printing an HTML page (not an Adobe Reader view) to the Adobe PDF "printer" (Distiller in Adobe 9 Pro) from IE9 Beta (and now IE9 RC) garbles the text. IE8 and other browsers do not exhibit this behavior. IE9 prints without this behavior to XPS and other printers (PostScript not tested).  Selecting the garbled text in the PDF and then copying and pasting into Notepad produces the same content as seen in the browser, hence a font-substitution issue.
