For example:

C:\>cd netsim
C:\netsim>cd ns
C:\netsim\ns>netsim example1a.tcl
C:\netsim\ns>set TCL_LIBRARY=/netsim/lib/tcl8.3
C:\netsim\ns>set TK_LIBRARY=/netsim/lib/tk8.3
C:\netsim\ns>set PATH=C:\Tcl\bin;...
C:\netsim\ns>ns example1a.tcl
C:\netsim\ns>ns example2a.tcl

The following are two recent NS-2 projects, which may give some help:

[Click here for Wireless Simulation] [Click here for the TCL scripts]

An example of using the DSR ad-hoc routing protocol for moving nodes is:

Note that the intermediate nodes are used to route the data between nodes.

Please contact me if you need any other help.
