How to run Cisco CCNA exploration in Ubuntu

[Sef]

hi there,
can someone tell me where to find course material to downlaod
thanks

You have to buy the course material. Downloading it would would be illegal since it is copyrighted, (unless you pay for it), and therefore a violation of the Ubuntu Code of Conduct, so please do not ask again. Thank you.

I got the Cisco CCNA exploration exe files installed and working on my Ubuntu 11.10 Eee PC.

First Wine is needed. I installed wine 1.3 from the Ubuntu Software Centre.

Then to install the exploration material click on the exe as wine will associate with it. If it hasn't and Archive Manager tries to open it right-click on the exe file and choose

Open with -> Wine Windows Program Loader

Wine will install it to the hidden .wine folder in your home folder.

You can access it by opening the home folder and pressing ctrl-h to show hidden files. Then navigate to the Cisco folder

~/.wine/drive-c/CISCO-CCNA

In here you will see the folders of the installed material e.g. /Exploration1_English

In this sub-folder click on index.html

It will open in Firefox. At this point you will find the button "Launch Course" won't respond.

So you need to go to http://www.macromedia.com/support/do...manager04.html and check Always Allow.

You then need to add the location of the Cisco Exploration files to the trusted files list.
From the drop-down list click on Add location and paste in the address of the Cisco folder.

e.g. /home/joseph/.wine/drive_c/CISCO_CCNA -add you user name to this address

Click on confirm and refresh the page to check that the change has stuck and it is still checked as Always Allow

Now when you choose a chapter from the list on the Exploration Index page it will open in a other window.

Thank you for the replies.


I've already found the issue.


You have to access the global settings of flash player (right click on the flash image in the exploration index file)

Clink on the "Global Security Settings panel" link

Click on add location

Add the complete path to your local site.

You can see a partial screenshot of the "Global Security Settings panel" in the attachment.

worked for me

thanks mate
