Respctive people,

I took test on Sunday 14:30 Hrs. Passed with a 896 (Short of 4 marks  from MY set goal). Thanks goes to the many advises given by people on the Brain Dump. I like the most: write down all the important & confusing points on the blank paper provided just before test. It  helped me lot for the Meter & Feet conversions (100 Meter=328 Feet OR 1M = ~3.15 Feet). I wrote down the 802 names & OSI model along with the devices working at that level.

My contribution for this important site is as follows:

1: 2 stations connected with Multiport of 6 ports. connected to

28.8Kbps. Needed bandwith of 1Mb.

So Modem bandwidth problem still there.

2: Bld was 1 story. 1 meter high ceiling. What kind of cable. Cost is the factor.

OPtions:

UTP

CO-AXIAL

STP

FIBER OPTIC

Many poeple informed me that MC wants CO-AXIAL as a answer.

3: About 3 questions on SLIP, PPP. They try to confuse

you with wordings, "apply all that apply".

3: Question about client uses appication. Which server

will be in use. (or something like that)

Options were:

File-Print servers

Apllication server

4: About 2-3 questions on Client/Server.

5: Client can the ping the server using IP adress, but can not using

server name.

Options:

Server name is not on the server

Client name is not on the server

Client type error in server name

Client name is not on the WINS

6: Too amny questions on different protocols work with

different servers (eg. Unix, Win NT, Dos based, Macentosh).

7: Nancy's workstation can not connect to network "any longer".

(Words "any longer" were in bold).

Wrong frame type

Wrong protocls

Cable got loose

Server problem

8: Which layer uses device which can prevent Broadcast?

9: 3 staions. 2 connected with T1. All 3 are connected with 9600 bps.

All stations can have communications evry time.

All 3 can communicate even if 1 T1 line fails.

It will have min 1Mbps communications even if 1 T1 fails.

.....

10: I had MASH exibit.

11: I had a question with exibit: 8 computers in linear, length

95 Meters between 2 termiantors, One was grounded. Right from

the center of the cable, a cable of 25 meter was going up. It

had a server close to top. Terminator was present. It was

10BaseT network.

Network is not working. Reason:

Cable length exceeded the limit

Terminators are not grounded properly.

I had 7 senarion questions.

This was my 1st test. Passed. I was very excited as well as tensed.

5 more to go. I will try to use Brain Dump for NT 4.0 & NTWorks.

I hope, I will get the same great advise about the material to be

study as well as way to be great prepared for test.

I studied, Last 5 chapters from the Network Essential Study Guide,

Exam Cram & Practised Transcender untill I scored >850.

Good luck for the people who are going to take test.

Special Thanks to the people who are maintaing this site.

With regards,
