    GNS3 is pretty straightforward... there's plenty of YouTube videos out there to show you how to get it up and running. I've done it so many times with peers I can do it in my sleep now. GNS3 pretty much made the ROUTE exam a piece of cake.

    I've tried GNS3 but find it a bit annoying. The console interface seems to keep crashing on me so I can't get in to configure anything. I'm running windows 7 and have everything set up via youtube vids etc but dynamips just doesn't seem to run very well... I might try and install it on my mac maybe and see if that's any better.

    I also passed the CCNA two weeks ago and I've just bought Chris Bryant's CCNP Switch dvd so I'm gonna make a start on that this week and look for a networking job.

    Huge congratz on the pass. Why did you decide on just the single test route not the two test route?

    Congrats on passing alliasneo! I took the single test route because I like a challenge and to knock it out at once. For practicing I used my home lab.

    Equipment:
    1x 2509
    3x 2950
    3x 2620XM
    1x 2620

    Hey Alliasneo, I had the same issue regarding GNS3 and this is how I resolved it.

    Preferences --> General --> Terminal Settings --> From Drop Down list Select - Putty (Windows, included with GNS3) --> Click the use button --> Apply --> OK

    You should now be able to access the terminal without problems. Please let me know if this resolved your issue.

    try to play with IDLE PC value .... it was keeping crashing until i found the good value for it.... ALso try a different router rather than 2600 series. there is a common error with its' IOS image.( at least worked for me)
