Well all...
Turns out that the configuration was correct, and I have sufficient RAM.
The problem was that DNS wasn't functioning, and switching from STATIC to
DHCP on Ethernet0 did the trick.
The 5.2(4)ASDM software works fine, however the latest book I can find on
the WEB is not the same GUI, and it's difficult to follow the proceedures
when they differ. The latest version does things for you that previous
versions required the user to do for themselves. I'd say the new version
is just fine. Let's see a booklet from Cisco that covers it.
Cisco wouldn't talk to me when I called, stating that my product was a
"Gray Market" and I informed them that since they no longer sold or
supported it that the fact that I wasn't the original owner shouldn't have
been such an issue. Cisco repells business relationships with such an
attitude. Use of older equipment by private individuals for personal use,
or the startup business as in my case are ways for people to become Cisco
customers, and learn about the value of having their hardware. Shunning
us such a market sends us elesewhere.
