Microsoft office 2007 can't save to network drive

The cause of the problem is the your antivirus (CA in my case). You must disable "protected network drive" under CA antivirus.

Subinterfaces on ethernet port

I am setting up my lab for the ccnp training and it seems like you cannot configure subinterfaces on an ethernet port.

I am able to configure it without any problem on Fastethernet.

PASSED CISCO CCNA VOICE

Whaooo - I am done with the projet. I am now CCNA VOICE certified. I passed my test last monday. It feels great to be over with it.

CCNA voice is great - The training is better than the test itself. I learn a lot. I can setup a complete voice system from scratch with voicemail, dial-peer, auto-attendant, hunt-group, intercom, paging,... It is beautiful.

I love the Voice training and I would like to learn more about the CALL MANAGER. But the CCVP is 2 more exams than the CCNP and the home lab costs almost 5 times more.

So, from next week, I am going to start the CCNP track. I hope will be more efficient on posting my journey.

On the CCNA VOICE exam, I will suggest to all of you to spend time with pratice and UC500.
50% of the question were on the UC500 and I used the following site to massacre the questions

https://www.myciscocommunity.com/servlet/JiveServlet/previewBody/1555-102-1-1922/UC500-CCA-First-Look-v1-Lab3.pdf

the rest of the 50% of questions were about the configuration, sampling, encoding and dial-peers. My home lab and the book did the job.

In my opinion, CCNA is harder than the CCNA VOICE.

I don't know may be because I have a better teacher and book (JEREMY CIORAS - Cbt nugget and the official CCNA VOICE BOOK) and specialy a great home lab.

I am still looking for a company that can help me achieve my goal of becoming a CCIE. For now, I am paying from my own pocket for lab, training books and dvd and test fees. It is hard but I hope in the near future, it is going to pay off.

Praise God for everything.
