Im interested in doing some or all of a CCNA. I have no real Idea where
to start, or how hard its going to be. Ive had a play with a few Pix506
and even managed to set one up for my mates business without any
training, just browsing the web.

I would like to know where to start, which exam is the first one to
take, I have sent for some information form computeach about the
course, but I dont know what the best way to get things moving is just
at the moment.

Im very, very interested in buying my own hardware, but dont know what
to get. I have been looking at used Pix501 & 506 on ebay and have seen
a Cisco 2924 XL EN Switch are these the things I need. I know I will
also need a router (Is one enough ?) of sorts, any suggestions?

Many thanks !

Check out Cisco's website for the certification route.
CCNA is a starting point.
If you can afford it get a pair of 2600's with 1 ethernet and 1 serial
interface in each (with the appropriate cables).
Should be a few hundred off EBay.
Definitely have the switch !
