3.0 out of 5 stars Passable book -- Barely, August 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: NetWare 5 CNE: Core Technologies Study Guide (Hardcover)

This book, like NW5 Admin. and Design, does manage to covermost of the material on the two tests. However, there are severalnoticeable errors (confusing typos, mislabelled diagrams) in the first edition, so be careful. The book also tends to focus on subject material differently than the tests covered. So, if you are using this book as a primary source, you may want to supplement it with something else, especially if you want good practice questions. The practice questions offered with this book leave a lot to be desired.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good but could be improved, August 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: NetWare 5 CNE: Core Technologies Study Guide (Hardcover)

I read this book and passed the CNE exam. So it does work. Also, it is well written and well organized. But the real CNE exam is much harder than the practice questions in this books, and the book gives a wrong idea that the exam questions are all multiple choice. Some parts such as the hard disks section are a bit dated, as is giving Token Ring and Ethernet equal importance and having more discussion of Bridges than of switching hubs, but I guess that is consistent with Novell's tests. Also the occassional unexplained references to ArcNet might be confusing to some people.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good referense source, March 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: NetWare 5 CNE: Core Technologies Study Guide (Hardcover)

I found this book very helpfull in preparing for the core tech exam but i found that it doesn't focus enough on subnetting and supernetting and i had to refer to external refrences to learn these subjects and to my surprise the test was full of subneting questions! over all its a very good book because it gives you good information and leaves out the usless stuff!
