First thing you need to do is get a hold of Network+ Certification by Prentice Hall. Second thing is begin reading and studying for this book will give everything you need to pass the exam and more. The authors are three of the leading Network trainers, so they might know a thing or two.

The book just over 450 pages and is filled with pictures, diagrams, tables and even tells you when to take a study break. Each chapter has review questions for you to aid in your study for the examination. While no book can cover everything, this book comes very close.

Subjects like topologies, TCP/IP, standards, network hardware and troubleshooting are but a few of the topics covered in the book. What is missing is the practice test cd; this would make a big difference in getting you ready for the exam. Overall a good value for the money.

If you need and want to pass the exam, this is a MUST READ material. I don't have any particular experience, but can very quickly understand and easily follow the book, even in complex ideas as they are explained very well.

Overall, this book is the best technical support I have ever read. It's complete, interesting, and easy to undertand.

I am certainly going to use it for quite a bit of troubleshooting, thanks to authors! They made my life easier.

Thanks!
