Summary: Overrated, Inaccurate, Incomplete, Overpriced
Comment: Many technical and editorial errors make this a confusing text. Microsoft only acknowledges one correction in their online updates at their corporate web site. Unless you are already familiar with TCP/IP, you will be confused by the inaccuracies in this book. The answers to the review questions throughout the book are not explained, often leaving you wondering why you get a different answer from the one listed. Sections on DNS are incomplete and do not cover all topics that were on my MCSE exam. If you use this book, you will need additional material to understand subnetting clearly. Subnetting is covered by 20% of the questions on the exam so you can't rely on this book to give you what you need to pass the exam. The strengths of this book include a thorough explanation of WINS and using TCP/IP printing functions with NT server. Other than that, this book is overpriced as official study material to pass an exam.

Summary: Crucial tips missing from this guide
Comment: Putting heavy faith in Microsoft for developing the proper study material for their MCSE exams - I was a little more then letdown with Internetworking with TCP/IP on Windows NT 4.0.

One of the most crucial aspects of TCP/IP is how to create a subnetting table - one not included in this book or many others. Only found by searching on the Internet and very critical for success if you cannot grasp subnets in detail.

Book is great when setting up a small network with the first time and using TCP/IP with WINS, DHCP and such. LMHOSTS and HOSTS are covered in good detail.

Nice looking on your bookshelf - but missing some important tips and tricks for the real world of TCP/IP and Microsoft's test exam questions.

Summary: Proof is in the Pudding
Comment: 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.
