There is now a second edition...
FYI, Dan York wrote a second edition of this book that was published in Nov 1999. He apparently updated the text based on feedback from readers and to correct some errors in this first edition. The new book is softcover andthe ISBN is 0789722658.

Written so everybody can understand it
I highly recommend this title, as it explains networking with examples that everybody can understand (even without previous knowledge of the topic). The only reason that I will not give it 5 stars is that Iencountered questions at the certification that was not covered by thebook. But it still gave me an excellent knowledge of networking, and Ipassed the certification with a comfortable margin, so it is absolutelyworth the money.

An excellent resource for learning about networks
This book is the only resource that I used in preparing for the Network Essentials 70-58 exam, and I passed the exam.Dan York does an excellent job of taking technical material and describing it in a very easy to read, down to earth format.The book is well organized and well written, and itnot only prepares you for the test but also helps you to learn thetechnologies involved with computer networks. ...

A T connector should have infinite resistance between the center conductor and the CENTER (o would be outer) conductor?

Good enough to get you through the actual exam...
...but don't expect it to test you on everything that will be on the exam.I had drag-and-drop questions on the actual exam, which were not in this book's CD-ROM.Those questions weren't too much of a problem.However, this book is the best out there to make sure you are ready for the actual exam.

Answers are extra
The book is good, but certainly not up to the other reviews I read.Surprisingly, it's purportedly used as a school text. That's surprisingbecause there's absolutely NO theory inside this tome. It's strictlynetwork by rote. This book is awesome!
This is an awesome reference guide. I give it 10 stars!It is very well organized. All the information is presented in a no-nonsense fashion...perfect for the person who needs to learn this subject in a hurryor who wants to seriously study for the exam.I'm very impressed. Afterrunning into too many poorly organized computer guides, this one provesthat you can organize technical topics logically and for any reader (at anytechnical level).

A complete, accurate and OUTSTANDING reference!
As an instructor of the Microsoft Certification curriculum, I can honestly say that this is by far the best book on Microsoft Networking Essentials I've seen. Whether your studying for the exam, or just looking for aconcise, complete reference for network engineering, this book has youcovered. It addresses topics in a manner that makes them easy tounderstand, while at the same time teaching you the tools you'll need toget, and keep, a network up and running at optimal efficiency. Itsorganization is excellent, and the referenced diagrams help to furtherexplain the topics. Truly an excellent effort, this book will be an assetto both engineers and aspiring MCPs. ... Read more
