Product Description
This guide, designed for those studying to obtain the CNE (Certified Network Engineer) networking qualification, covers the core technologies required for the examination. The book contains an accompanying CD-ROM.

From the Author
The Great CNE Hurdle!
Service & Support and Networking Technologies represent the last great hurdle to IntranetWare CNEship! The first is incredibly fun and "hands on", while the other is full of wonderful cyber-trivia and "hands off" acronyms. Good luck and Enjoy the show! :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Book - highly recommended, 22 Mar 1999
By A Customer
Clarke has an easy way of presenting what is otherwise complicated technical concepts. The book is organized well for the reader to take breaks in the middle of topics.

3.0 out of 5 stars Technically complete, but info is hidden in useless garbage., 9 Feb 1999
By A Customer
It's too bad that Mr. Clarke feels the need to share his thoughts on Zen, include useless quizzes totally unrelated to NetWare or networking, and offer crossword and wordsearch puzzles instead of useful, real-life quizzes and tests. This book was quite complete as of it's publication date, but it is a little out-of-date now. Mr. Clarke also confuses readers with inconsistent terminology at times, once referring to a server as a dedicated 'workstation' rather than a dedicated computer, and a continuing reference to a 'central print queue' rather than just 'print queue.' His constant medical analogies and references are mundane and worthless. The book is written to about an eighth grade level, not an eighth grade reading level, but an eighth grade intelligence level. It's like reading a child's book of NetWare. The book does appear to be organized well and the necessary information is contained in the book. It's just unfortunate that it is buried between and beneath endless pages of medical school wannabe diatribes, 'Zen' garbage, and off-topic quizzes as filler. The book is nearly 1,000 pages, but if the useless garbage were removed, it would be more like 600-700 pages. It's truly too bad because Mr. James does appear to know NetWare very well. I teach computer courses for a business college that uses this book as a text. It is extremely difficult to teach from this book because of the filler and the lack of useful quizzes and tests in the book. The Clarke Tests on the CD are good, but are filled with stupid sound clips from movies and TV that are of varying volume, some quiet and some quite loud. They are very unprofessionally recorded and very annoying during testing. The tests on the CD included with the New Riders MCSE books are far superior to the Clarke tests, however. The saddest reality is that this is apparently the best book available other than Novell's own training books which are much more expensive and are apparently only available through authorized training centers (with training courses).

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the book to understand networking fundamentals!, 20 Jan 1999
By A Customer
As an MCSE who has been teaching Networking Essentials to systems engineering students I figured that I would breeze through the Novell Networking Technologies course. Whoa! The Novell course goes into substantially more detail than the Microsoft course. I found Clarke's book to be an excellent guide through the maze of material that Novell requires familiarity with. And it was a pleasure to notice that this book seems to be the foundation of many other guides and lectures that I have been exposed to both in Novell and Microsoft curriculums. The author does go overboard on Zen commercials, puzzles, brain teasers, and the like but it is easy to skip over these parts when you have time only to study material you will need for an exam (or in my case, for my next lecture).

3.0 out of 5 stars Out of date
The Novell course has been updated and this book no longer contains adequate information. While it may be possible to pass the updated test using this material it is unlikely.
