I can give you file with ns-2.29 or ns-2.33 installed in linux in vmware. You will just need vmware on your windows xp to open this simulator. Write me on kire_jakimoski@yahoo.com for details and the transfer of the file.

Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick is an old OS, was moved to the Ubuntu Museum long time ago.
You can however still use 10.10 (unsafe?) ...
→ Please replace /etc/apt/sources.list with this text ...
Code:
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-backports main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-backports multiverse universe
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-security multiverse universe
And then run $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install \
g++ automake make patch libtool libxmu-dev xgraph

Ubuntu 10.10 - 32bits is perfect for ns2.
? Recommed a later Ubuntu version : None are recommended for ns2.
But most versions are OK with the most protocols.
Depends what you want to do with ns229. nist? wimax?
How to edit a text file : $ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Compiler :
ns-allinone-2.29.3 requires gcc-4.1.2, but nist-mob: -3.4.6. (On some OS.)
And no "nist-mob" seems to work on Ubuntu 10.10, sorry.
(Usually we can compile with g++34 and link with g++41, but not with Ubuntu 10.10.)
See post #7 : The CentOS 6.6 build example. And post #11.

Old version are moved to `old-releases´, the Ubuntu Museum.
Discontinued is also 13.10, see section "End of life" here .. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
.. So your '11.04' is also on the list.
Please do : $ gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
... and replace all the text with :
Code:
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-security main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-security universe multiverse
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-backports main restricted
deb http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-backports universe multiverse
... and then : $ sudo apt-get update
→ → → you can now install packages.
