Static DHCP on CISCO IOS
After replacing a normal router with a Cisco 881K, i had to re-assign static addresses to a couple of printers (actually one – because the other has a LCD panel and i can manually enter it’s IP address).
The problem was that Cisco documentation states that after creating a dhcp pool , you just need to enter the IP address and the client identifier. Normally the identifier is the MAC address concatenated with a number representing the Ethernet media type. In my particular case, i had to use only the MAC address, in order for the printer to get the assigned IP.
"DHCP clients require client identifiers. The unique identification of the client is specified in dotted hexadecimal notation, for example, 01b7.0813.8811.66, where 01 represents the Ethernet media type, and the rest is the MAC address for the device".

Proxy only for certain sites
Your public fixed IP banned on a few sites, or you don’t want your real IP to be seen on them ? Normally by using a proxy you can bypass this problem.
But, by adding a proxy in your IE or Firefox configuration you direct all your HTTP/HTTPS/FTP/SOCKS traffic through the proxy, something you don’t need. Remember, there are only a few websites that need this. ( Proxies are slower ).
Here is a fix for Internet Explore and Firefox ( under Windows ). We need to create a PAC file (Proxy Auto Configuration) and then instruct IE / Firefox to use it.

Firefox bookmarks
Mozilla Firefox stuff :
I have many bookmarks so i want to include them in my daily backup. I don’t like exporting them manually from Firefox so I searched for another way to do it. Mozilla Firefox 3 and later have a file named places.sqlite located in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxx.default where xxxxxxx is a random string.
For those who want their bookmarks converted in a .html file there is an option browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML in Firefox. When set to true it exports the content of places.sqlite in a file : bookmarks.html located in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxx.default where xxxxxxx is a random string. To set browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTMLto true just type in Mozilla address bar : about:config then browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML, right click on it, and then toggle.
Now each time you close Mozilla Firefox, it will create a file named bookmarks.html in the location specified above.
These instructions are valid for Windows 7.
