I was trying to keep XP for work stuff, but dual boot would work.
 
I was thinking of loading Ubuntu 7.10
 
Any recommendations?
 
Thanks
 
Kevin

I have also Intel Core Duo 3gig with 2GB Memory 2CL So it is a very fast PC but Before you start do a small experiment as it will save you a lot of frustration:
 
on you win xp:
start only 3 routers and connect them over FR and try to ping from one to another, add ospf or eigrp and try again
 
then install linux on that same pc (dual boot) run it on init 3:
try the same thing
 
 
you will clearly see a performance difference with a full lab if you will run it more then 4 hours you will have some wired problems that you would not encounter on the real equipment, also have as much cooling as possible.

        Hi Scott,
        
        Would it be something like this?

         model = 3640

         autostart = false

        I wasn't sure since i'm using usb's, also how would you differentiate to the four real switches, do the cisco ports have NPFs?
        
        As far as using XP, I figured I would give it a go. It's a core 2 duo 3.0 gig, if that doesn't do it, i've heard good things about the apple mini.
        
        Thanks for your help.

        Hey Kevin,
        
        Hope that XP machine is a hog. To run a full IEWB topology and then all of
        the stuff that the actual IEWB labs call for will be a tall order for
        Windows. Bear in mind (and I'm not kidding) that the developers of
        Dynamips/Dynagen actually recommend that you attempt to run your virtual
        network on a toaster before attempting to do so on a Windows box!
        
        Look again at the tutorial. You're trying to use Linux/OS X syntax on
        Windows. The Windows syntax is explained in "Communicating With Real
        Networks."
        
        Seriously, if you're going to be doing full-scale CCIE labs, you need to
        consider a different OS. I had some success on a Server 2003 machine with 4
        x CPUs and 4 GB of RAM, but your run-of-the-mill XP box is very, very likely
        to fail under the strain. Adjacencies begin to flap and all kinds of other
        unpredictable things are likely to happen as you begin to introduce routing
        protocols, etc into your configs. Windows is really best suited as a test
        drive of Dynamips or for very small topologies.
        
        Regards,
        
        Scott

        Hello All,
        I'm attaching four 48 port 3750's to the standard
        "ie.routing.and.switching.topology.4.01" The following .net (below) gives me
        a 206 Error: 206-unable to create generic ethernet NIO.
        
        Topology:
        Dynamips on Windows XP(dynagen-0.10.1_dynamips-0.8.0-RC1_Win_XP_setup.exe)
        --> two seven port USB hubs with RJ45 adapters--->four 48 port 3750s
        12.2(25)SEE4
        
        The part I get lost on is how does the eth0 in R1t tell dynamips to connect
        to the real 3750, SW1 F1/0/1?
        
        [[Router R1]]
         model = 3640
         console = 2001
         autostart = false
         slot0 = NM-1FE-TX
         slot1 = NM-4T
         F0/0 = NIO_gen_eth:eth0
         # Connects to SW1 F1/0/1
        
        So far I've been referencing the following:
