Summary: Just the right book for us beginners
Comment: Like many others working in small businesses, I assumed the duty of overseeing our network, which has a Cisco router. I was totally lost and the cost (and technical level) of the training available was much too high. So, on the chance it could help me, I purchased this book. I must say that Mr. Gilster has the knack for writing about very technical information at a very non-technical way. Not that I understand all of what he's telling me, but I assume that in time, given more study, I'll soon be able to speak intelligently with our Cisco and network service technicians. Truly Great Job, Mr. Gilster and Thanks!

Summary: I'm sorry but Vanilla is right
Comment: I purchased a copy of this book before reading the reviews - it was so bad I thought I'd come here and see what others thought. I know Networking for Dummies implies that the absolute basics are par for the course but the "basics" stuff is really stale material for a recently written book. If one is a beginner, they should be treated to modern information & new advances in technology that make networking simpler & accessable to the "beginner".The cisco product info is weak, the Cisco site offering way more information on each and every product mentioned in this book. If you want a good Cisco book, my all time favorite is Cisco: A Beginner's Guide (It's a beginners guide but not for dummies !) To be fair, I have read quite a few networking guides and several beginners guides and may very well be beyond the beginner level so perhaps I'm expecting too much. However, I can't say I'm happy spending the money - the info is old, too basic, and often I was able to get better information on the cisco site. Oh well...

Summary: No CD with book.
Comment: This book Cisco Networking for Dummies does not have a CD as the 'See Larger Photo' of the book cover shows. The book is published without a CD.
Another book published by Hungry Minds, CCNA for Dummies also authored by Ron Gilster, Jeff Bienvenu, and Kevin Ulsted does have a CD. ...
