 Bill,
I had the exact same problem. For instance, I couldn't figure out the solutions
 for BGP and looking at the solutions would only make me "memorize" the answer
and not learn it (that happened in Caslow class back in November) and Caslow's
advise was: "If you're having problems with route-reflectors, back up a little
bit and start over with BGP basics" and so I did. Instead of trying to learn wi
th commercial labs I built my own labs to learn the teory. In the beggining ver
y simple labs with 3 routers so I could learn the basics and evolving to a poin
t I would configure any BGP lab with synchronization on and using "update-sourc
e loopback" (what, in my opinion, would be the most complex scenario I could ge
t).
This is only a BGP example, I did the same with other technologies as well.
HTH,
Phil

ff topic but if I don't ask I'm going to go
insane. It seems I get stuck on a least a little part of almost every single
lab I do. Sometimes small, sometimes a lot (BGP). I end up having to look at
a piece of the solution almost always to complete what I need to do. And
since each section is graded all or nothing, missing one line could blow
it.My question is, does anyone else have to resort to this? I'm not
scheduled to take the lab until Nov. 1st, but I'm already thinking about
rescheduling it.

Any comments to let me know that I'm not the only one that gets totally
stuck would be appreciated by my self-esteem.

Thanks,
Bill Mckenzie
