Customer Rating:  
Summary: disappointed
Comment: Too much fluff and too many factoids. I was hoping for more hard information detailed enough to setup networks.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A Very Handy Reference
Comment: Although this book was purchased as a text book required for a graduate level course, its vast amount of network history and detailed diagrams of different types of networks, as well as the many lists of statistics on networking media, make this book an invaluable quick reference for up and coming network admins and engineers.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good, moderately Microsoft-focused, no Cisco
Comment: There's a lot in this book that is good. However, it's focused towards the future Microsoft server administrator, not the future router or switch maintainer. I'd suggest a CCNA-training book for that.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not for self-study!
Comment: Please be aware that this book (and others by the same publisher)are meant for colleges and/or trade schools and thus the answers to exercises, labs, projects, etc are available ONLY to instructors. Furthermore, neither the publisher nor the authors maintain a website for errata so you are on your own if you misunderstand a concept due to typos and false information.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Awesome book for Network+ exam
Comment: While this book wasn't written specifically for CompTIA's Network+ exam, I found it extremely useful and informative. I have read many networking books, and this one explained the concepts very well, especially at what layers various hardware devices work. I bought it for a college networking class and kept it after the class was over because I thought it was so useful. I passed my Network+ exam a couple of weeks ago with the help of this book.
