Most Helpful Customer Reviews   3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: 2.0 out of 5 stars Far too many mistakes and typing errors in my edition, 8 Mar 2001 By  martin@mjweb.co.uk (England) - See all my reviews This book looks great, it is well structured and explains the subject matter well. However after discovering countless mistakes in the first four chapters I decided not to bother reading any further in order to prevent myself from learning incorrect information. I could spot mistakes in the first few chapters because they cover the basics but the later chapters cover OSPF, EIGRP and BGP, these are subjects I know precious little about and would not spot mistakes. Maybe there is a second edition on the way which hopefully someone has proof read. Comment Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
