free network diagram software

If you already have Powerpoint - its not bad. I go to the net to find symbols or draw my own and then put them together in a powerpoint document.

Here are some free Cisco Icons you can use in different programs (including Powerpoint):

There are lots of nice shareware programs for network diagramming, but I don't know of a free one. Probably the best "free" option is to find out what graphics software you have and find image files it supports (jpgs, bmps, etc). Then draw it in what you have (Corel Draw, Autocad, Word, etc).

Good Luck! Hope this helps....

If you run KDE on linux you could try Kivio as an open source clone of Visio.

Visio is very good at what it does, but another product I like that does with similar charting functionality (without all of the different shapes, though) is NetworkView:

hope this helps

There are lots of free network diagramming tools that are available for download at Download.com http://download.com.com/3120-20-0.html?qt=network+diagram&tg=dl-2001 (no spaces)
