Review

The Network+ Study Guide explains all you need to know about computer networking in order 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 practice and the issues involved in network security. Organised 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 memorise. 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, amazon.com
