I need to know where to plug the cards into and where all the cables plug into.

need to know your topology...

but from looking at the equipment:

insert 2 of the WIC-1Ts in slots 0 and 1 of the 1841
insert 1 of the WIC-1Ts in slot 0 of each of the 2610XMs
insert 1 of the WIC-T1/DSU into slot 1 of each of the 2610XMs

make the 1841 your DCE and connect the DCE end of your DB60s to the WIC-1Ts and cable them to the WIC-1Ts on the 2610s. then connect your 2610s together using the T1-XOVER cable by plugging into the T1 jacks in the cards. connect your baby-blue console cable to the CONSOLE port of your 1841 and other devices to configure. or, get an access server with octal cables.

as far as your layer 2 topology goes, connect your CAT5E XOVER to ports fa0/24 on your 2950 and plug that into fa0/24 of your other 2950. then connect the other CAT5E XOVER to port fa0/23 of your second 2950 and run that to port fa0/23 of your 3550. these will be your trunk links. use your straight through cables and plug R1's fa0/0 (1841) to port fa0/1 of SW1 (2950), R2 and R3's fa0/0 (2610XM) should plug into fa0/2 of SW2 (2950) and fa0/3 of SW3 (3550) respectively.

this is a basic topology with no "lab" basis, however you should be able to achieve some basic configuration practice with it.

nice CCNP lab though. I'd throw in 1 more 3550 though. check out the Cisco Press CCNP lab manual for topologies and lab set up.

PM me if you have any further questions.
