One of them is with the wizard options partly english/chineese. But if you are brainy enough to try NS 2 with CYGWIN, im sure you can figure out what it means.

Here is the first PDF.

Here is another PDF for the installation steps.

Dont hesitate to ask if you need any further help. I will share the steps that worked for me. If you need to know how to set the environment variables, check my previous post.

By the way, below is the environment for this installation:

• WINDOWS XP/mine is media center edition and it works!
• CYGWIN Current version
• NS2-2-9 (checked that 2.30 isnt working, it took 4 hours to realise this!)

Here are few sites where you can see the tutorials & download some examples to see if they are working.

• http://nile.wpi.edu/NS/
• http://www.item.ntnu.no/fag/ttm4150/labs/ns2win.html
• http://www.isi.edu/nsnam/ns/tutorial/ (find examples to run here!)

i do this to run, say example1a.tcl:

1. Start CYGWIN (installed at C:\Cygwin)

2. cd .. (there is space after cd)

3. cd prathima (thats my directory where i installed NS2 at : root:\home, in other words at : “C:\cygwin\home\Prathima”)

4. startX (case sensitive, this is to start the shell for accessing ns!)

5. in the new window, ns .tcl

6. Output for NAM opens

7. In Hyderabadi style i would have to ask..Party?
