Hi Guys,
Got my lab setup finally, or well part of it anyway. Have a look here.

Im not really sure what i should do next. i am new to all this but i am really keen on learning it and hopefully end up doing my exam.
i know what i have is a little overkill but hey, what i though of doing is the following but remember i am new to this so go easy on me.
I want 2 network's to mess around with
Network 1
Cisco 2501 router connected to Cisco 1603R Series they from there either directly into the laptop (Acting as Client) or into the Netgear switch and then into the router.
Network 2 - exactly as above only with a cisco 1601 series.
I have yet another laptop that i was going to use to configure/mess around with everything.
You will also notice that i have a cisco 877 Broadband router, cisco 1900 series switch and a cisco pix 501, i know these are probably not on the exam but they were to good a price to pass up and they can probably be used later when i have the basics out of they way.
So what i need help with apart from everything
How do i go about connecting it all up correctly? I know how to make cat5 cables. I also have serial AUI to Cat5 converters for the routers. I am just not sure how or where to start and i would really appreciate your help.
