Summary: Has most of what you need to know...
Comment: I took and passed the Network+ exam today using this book almost exclusively to prepare for the exam. I passed with a 780/900. I have to let it be known to others out there preparing for this test that this book does not contain ALL the information you need to know. This book will touch on most subjects, but many subjects do not go in-depth enough for this to be the all-knowing Network+ study companion. To be more specific from what I can recall from the test, there were some very specific questions about Linux client configuration and DSL configuration that were not discussed about at all in this book. Strong points of the book are the tables and graphics, they will point out all the major specifications you will need to memorize for this test. The most notable ones I recall are the well-known ports and IEEE 802 standards. The included CD has alot of practice questions even though as mentioned in some of the other reviews there are some typos and some conflicting technical information that can confuse the reader. I was going to give this book a 3 star rating, but realizing that this book still did help me to pass the exam, I have given in a 4 star instead. Just remember, it doesn't have EVERYTHING. Good luck out there.

Summary: Review correction
Comment: Webmaster: Thank you for posting my review of the Network+ Study Guide this week. I did notice one typo in the review. Please replace "There are many usefully pictures, graphs. . ." with "There are many useful pictures, graphs. . .".
Thanks,

Summary: This book is riddled with errors
Comment: David Groth's "Network + Study Guide" is plagued with typos, omissions, and errors. Most disturbing are the numerous technical content mistakes. In many cases, these mistakes serve to further confuse a reader who is already struggling to grasp the nuances of Networking. Note: many of the errors are found in the Chapter Review Questions, and companion CD's Practice Exams. Clearly, no one at Sybex bothered to proofread this book's technical content before release.
On the positive side, the book is well illustrated. There are many usefully pictures, graphs, and diagrams. The content of the book does closely mirror the content of the Network + exam (I just took the exam today).
So, if you can get through the book without pulling your hair out, you will probably pass the exam. But make it easier on yourself and find another Network + study guide.
