3.0 out of 5 stars Decent study material, May 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft TCP/IP Training : Hands-On, Self-Paced Training for Internetworking Microsoft TCP/IP on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 (Academic Learning) (Hardcover)

This book was at the most decent study material for the exam. It gives you a lot of the surface understanding of the subject but doesn't give you the indepth information to really understand TCP/IPing. I ended up using this book as a 2nd hand resource to Mark Minasi's book "Mastering TCP/IP". Minasi's book covered in detail just about every area of this subject.

I wouldn't tell anyone not to buy this book, but I would tell you to get a book that goes more indepth and use this book as a 2nd study reference.

3.0 out of 5 stars Overpriced, Overrated and Unnecessarily Confusing !, April 8, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft TCP/IP Training : Hands-On, Self-Paced Training for Internetworking Microsoft TCP/IP on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 (Academic Learning) (Hardcover)

I also scored a 948 on my TCP/IP exam, but only because I used Exam Cram with this book to fill in the numerous omissions, errors and poor explanations. Unless you have a good foundation with TCP/IP, this book is not for you. It is quite confusing to read through. The coverage of DNS and subnetting were incomplete and poorly explained. The section on Troubleshooting was all of 3 pages long, yet covered 30% of the exam. The accompanying CD had two useless 10 minute presentations on the TCP/IP Protocol Suite and Sliding Windows which are not even touched on in the exam. Finally, the review exercises are not explained at all, so have fun figuring them out. Overall, the TCP/IP exam was pretty simple and all you will really need to pass is Exam Cram which describes the topics infinitely more clearly.

2.0 out of 5 stars Watered down TCP/IP info, July 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Microsoft TCP/IP Training : Hands-On, Self-Paced Training for Internetworking Microsoft TCP/IP on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 (Academic Learning) (Hardcover)

I found this book good for giving a basic understanding of TCP/IP, but I can't see how anyone could pass the TCP/IP exam using this book... too watered down. This isn't the book to actually LEARN TCP/IP, but it gives a general overview.
