Product Description:
CompTIA's popular Network+ certification will soon be upgraded to cover advances in networking technology. Here is the only self-study package for the Network+ exam that combines comprehensive instructional material with sophisticated network and operating system simulation software. And it comes to you at a tremendous value (less than the retail value of the simulation software alone)! With this premium product, you get the leading CAQC approved Network+ Study Guide which provides in-depth coverage of all official objectives plus two valuable CDs. One CD includes advanced testing software with four bonus exams, electronic flashcards for PCs, Pocket PCs, and Palm devices, plus the entire book in PDF. The other CD contains a fully functional Virtual Lab that simulates a lab environment with Windows, NetWare, Linux and Unix servers, hosts, and clients, and includes over 30 hands-on labs and dozens of additional review exercises and practice questions.
Amazon.com Review:
The Network+ Study Guide explains all you need to know about computer networking to pass CompTIA's Network+ exam. The book covers the fundamentals of local area networks (LANs), the seven-layer Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) network model, and network operating systems (including NetWare, Windows NT, and to a lesser degree Unix variants). Readers will find considerable coverage of the TCP/IP protocol suite, including some of the utility programs used to configure it locally and remotely. There's also a lot of "softer" material about the duties of a network administrator, good troubleshooting practices, and the issues involved in network security. Organized to match CompTIA's stated objectives for the Network+ exam, this guide will prepare you for that test as well as Microsoft's Networking Essentials exam (70-058).
The presentation style is dense with prose, and tables are inserted where there are options or variations to memorize. More and larger conceptual diagrams would make this book better, since networking concepts are sometimes hard to grasp. There are quite a few stepped procedures though--most of them geared toward networked Windows machines. Each chapter concludes with a selection of multiple-choice review questions, the answers to which appear--without discussion, unfortunately--in an appendix. Additional questions appear in a drill program on the companion CD-ROM. --David Wall

Fairly easy to follow, covers all the content that is tested. Has many practice tests, flash cards, and the entire book on pdf included. Read this book cover to cover, do the practices, and you will ace the Network + exam.

I used this book and the "Network+ In Depth" book to study for my certification (I had a lot of time on my hands when I was preparing for it). The Sybex Network+ Study Guide has a good overall structure to it. It is easy to follow and laid out in such a way that you can easily map the sections to the objectives for the certification exam (however, they could have made it even easier to map out).
I read through this book, and then wrote my own study guide that mapped directly to the ... Read More

I just took the Network+ exam today and barely passed. The book has lots of good information, however it does not tell you everything you need to know for the 2007 exam! This book was written for the 2005 exam. Maybe if I took the 2005 exam I would have done much better, but I studied this front to back thoroughly and barely passed. There were many questions I had no clue on, because the book never spoke about it.
If you get this book, consider it a foundation, and then get something ... Read More

The good: I passed the exam with a 729 score.
The bad: The book is badly put together, and has some glaring omissions for anyone new to the subject. Just some examples, the discussion on CSMA/CD and CSMA/CA makes no mention in the text that one is for wired Ethernet and the other is for wireless. You do see where each technology is used, in a table 3 pages later, but that is not going to make an impression on anyone learning the subject. I didn't catch it until I missed the question on ...
