    That's a different issue.  undefined access list = you referenced an 
    access-list that does not exist.  In that case, it's as if you didn't 
    reference the access-list.
    
    I think this is a common pitfal for beginers with IOS.  You need to modify 
    an access-list, so you telnet into the router, conf t, no access-list 
    blah, then start typing in the new version of the access-list.  Hopefully, 
    your first line is permit tcp any any est, because once you start 
    reentering the access-list, there's the implicit deny all all at the 
    end...so if you're getting to the router through the interface using the 
    access-list you're modifying, you may block yourself out.
    
    For that reason, it's generally best to create a new access-list, then 
    modify the interface config to use that new access-list.
