Just logged into the network academy website today and lo and behold theres a new ccna curriculum out!
its called ccna discovery and the other is ccna exploration. Its got a whole new interface to it.
Theres also packet tracer 4.1 out. it has ospf and some other stuff. you can download it in the front page after logging in. it looks like the old download but its a new version after you download it.

you sure u using the right version dude? You have to go to the cli to use ospf, theres no gui equivalent. you have to have an up interface before you start ospf, so you can use a loopback or a real interface.

sorry, yes you right it support it, but the interface have to be up before using it as you said..

Yes PT 4.1 does support OSPF but not as well as it should. Right now in networking class (I'm in Highschool, we're doing OSPF right now), we have two networks (one is area 0 , and one is area 1). We're going to connect them together. I tried to copy it in PT but I can't have an area other than 0.

The CCNA curriculumn focuses on Single Area OSPF. You'll only be working with Area 0 until you get to CCNP.

Phantasm,
I found in ICND2 books that there's OSPF multiple area. I guess it is part of the new CCNA curriculum.
