Proof is in the Pudding

I passed the exam with flying colors (score 966) on the first try with this kit as my only resource. That says it all. Yes, some of the topics could be covered in more depth. Don't just read the book and expect to be an expert. You have to get hands-on experience with the product (which is enclosed with the kit). Use the book as a starting point, then explore menu options and test different configurations. Experiment with the command line utilities. This process worked great for me. Also enclosed with the kit are copies of the TCP/IP RFCs. Explore them too. Lots of valuable information is found within. This training kit does have prerequisites listed on the box. Be aware of them.

All you need to pass the exam.

I used only this book to study for the exam and passed with a 931. Everything on the exam is covered in this book. The negatives of this book are (1) The first couple of chapters cover material which is not on the test such as the RFC process and details of the protocol, and (2) the answers to most review questions are not explained well enough. But these are small issues compared to the overall quality of the book. The explainations are clear and thorough. Subnetting is even easy to understand. Basically, if you use this book and don't pass there isn't much hope for you.

Straight and to the point

Since Microsoft makes up the test it would seem like a good idea to use their study guide. The book is well written and goes through all of the points that are needed to pass the exam. I passed the exam with an 896. Spend the extra $ and do yourself a favor.

A well paced study guide

Panicos Andreopoulos (ppacy@spidernet.com.cy) Nicosia, Cyprus A very good book with a well layed out structure. It covers everything needed to take the MS exam. Lots of information can also be found on the CDs included in the package. It took me less than 3 days to go through the whole book and get a 948 score on the exam first time. A must for anyone thinking of taking MSCE exams or just wants to become familiar with TCP/IP implementation on NT.

Concise summary of the materials necessary to support TCP/IP

A concise summary of the materials necessary to support TCP/IP in Windows NT 4.0. Besides learning new things about Microsoft's implementation of IP, it gave me the necessary information to pass the corresponding test and complete my MCSE. If you are serious about the networking field, and want to be succesful, this book is required reading!
