routers

can anyone guide me to some tutorials on routers?

You might want to try here...

Negative also did a 2nd part to Network Basics here:

Other than that, build yer own using a dual-homed system (pc with two nics)

Try doing a search on routers at either http://www.networkmagazine.com or http://www.nwc.com

http://www.netlinos.org/doc/tutorials/nl3000.html

Best resource is, of course, www.cisco.com documentation and manuals - very good.

There is also http://www.routergod.com/ they explain a lot of the advanced concepts, which are fairly dry, with a bit of humor.
