Aqeel, any version of NS you choose for your purposes, I suggest you to use It in a Virtualbox with Ubuntu [8.04 - 9.04]. This is the most compatible NS-2 set you ever use in Windows.
Cygwin is an option, but: - I can tell you that NS runs slower in Cygwin than in a Virtualbox Linux VM. You may measure that counting time of a simple "validate" in both platforms. - While the newest NS-2.35 isn't released, you must use a previous NS in Cygwin 1.5 (legacy-setup) to a successful compilation, but this release of Cygwin isn't compatible with Windows 7. The newest Cygwin 1.7.1 is fully compatible with Windows 7, but isn't compatible with NS-2.34 and below. So, the main solution will be the NS-2.35. For now, to circumvent the problems, those that use Windows 7 must install Cygwin 1.5 in compatible mode (win95). After this "special" install, recreate the Cygwin bash icon in start menu.
