As an instructor of the Microsoft Certification curriculum, I can honestly say that this is by far the best book on Microsoft Networking Essentials I've seen. Whether your studying for the exam, or just looking for a concise, complete reference for network engineering, this book has you covered. It addresses topics in a manner that makes them easy to understand, while at the same time teaching you the tools you'll need to get, and keep, a network up and running at optimal efficiency. Its organization is excellent, and the referenced diagrams help to further explain the topics. Truly an excellent effort, this book will be an asset to both engineers and aspiring MCPs.

This is an awesome reference guide. I give it 10 stars! It is very well organized. All the information is presented in a no-nonsense fashion...perfect for the person who needs to learn this subject in a hurry or who wants to seriously study for the exam. I'm very impressed. After running into too many poorly organized computer guides, this one proves that you can organize technical topics logically and for any reader (at any technical level).

The book is good, but certainly not up to the other reviews I read. Surprisingly, it's purportedly used as a school text. That's surprising because there's absolutely NO theory inside this tome. It's strictly network by rote.

Especially frustrating were the Exercises and Case Studies *without answers*. Want answers? That's extra-$19.95 for the CD _after_ sending the publisher a "legal release form".

My advice-get a serious text, with extensive explanations (not just lists), good, tough questions and the answers in the back (right where they belong).
