Well I have gotten most everything below the CCIE that's route/switch based... think I am gonna go with INE.com as they have done quite well for me in the past
the big bundel looks like my best bet. http://www.ine.com/ccie-routing-switchi ... ration.htm

Anyone have a good starting place or any links/tips/hints/ect I should know before I start studying... and shelling out BIG bucks?

Ive heard the lab test is kinda hard so I would make sure to spend a little time on a home lab. Maybe a couple 2950s and a D-link will get you through it :D

But what do I know this is only second hand knowledge, so take it with a grain of salt...

Dont worry dude!! your windows box can route. you just need to enable Routing and remote access and your set. Honestly I dont know why people spend all this money on Cisco gear when their Domain Controler/Exchange/Sharepoint server will do it all!!

Talked to a dual IE (R&S, SP) the other day and asked him about the lab. He said that you need to have a solid understanding of each of the protocols, and you need to have a complete understanding of the basic fundamentals of networking. Fundamentals, fundamentals, fundamentals...
Then, you need to understand how each of the protocols interact with each other and how things operate in a pretty dang granular level. It's because the R&S lab is a puzzle. They ask you to build or modify something, then you need to alter it in some way without breaking what you already built.

Maybe I'm the odd man out here, but I just use spare equipment at work to lab with.

The problem with spare equipment at work is that it's not spare forever. There is nothing worse than breaking up your lab all the time because a part is needed elsewhere.

Just go my route, it's done me well thus far :)

INE is fantastic. Get the workbooks make sure you have a solid understanding for everything on the workbook and within the blueprint for the lab.

Was your route the GNS3 with a billioin NICs in the box to plug into switches or whatever is needed?
Or was that someone else?

It's not that much to learn. You create .net files and then load them with Dynagen. I've used mostly rack rentals and GNS3 but if I could go back I would do the same as Darren or buy my own rack.

I copied alot of Darrens stuff he was nice enough to give me a example .net file. I had to edit it a bit but you should be able to copy that file and put the new path for each lab configuration... let me know if you need any help.

I notice you have 2 3560s, is there anything they do that a 3550 won't do?

PVLANs, the QoS is different, IPv6 routing.

3550s can be IPv6 hosts, but they don't run IPv6 routing protocols.

You can do most of what you need with a 3550
