Hey all

Took Net Essentials 70-058 today and passed, but before I give my score, let me explain something about my testing experience. Up untill today I thought I would get a 58 question test and be able to jump back and forth from question to question. NOT SO! What I took was a CAT Something Adaptive Test. What this means basically is you get 25 to 35 questions and cant skip the tough ones and come back to them, you have to answer the questions as they come. Also all I needed to pass was 550 out of 1000, I got 794.

I got 25 questions -- 1 or 2 situations, no wireless, quite a few on token ring (which I was not familiar with at all). About 15 to 17 of the questions have all been covered here in depth and were simple thanks to this sight. Of the 8 to 10 I never saw before, just used EWAG's (educated wild ass guesses).

(Q)You've just installed a second adapter in your token ring server to set up two seperate token ring networks. None of the clients on the second ring can see the server what is most likely the problem?

(A). The adapters are conflicting -- was the only answer I can remember because it was the only one that sounded logical to me. (remember I don't know diddly about Token Ring and I don't even know if you can do that to a Token Ring network so look it up)

(Q)Token Ring setup 1 server, 2 rings using NetBeui need to segment to reduce network activity.

Server cabled directly to 1st ring, 1st ring cabled directly to second ring. They give you a diagram with two choices of where to put the device to segment with and 4 choices of devices to segment with (gateway, router, hub, and bridge)

(A)I chose bridge between 1st and 2d rings. The other choice was to put segmenting device after the 2d ring, but what would that do?

(Q)The situation 3 sights, 1 in Atlanta, 1 in LA, one in NY. Two T1 links

(A)meets required, neither optional

(Q)The situation where you played with the window sizes to reduce network activity by 50%

(A)Does not meet required

(Q)2 NT servers, 25 Win95 workstations. Need to analyze network activity of entire network. Which 2 Microsoft tools can be used to do

this?

a. Event Viewer

b. Device Manager

c. Performance Moniter

d. Network Moniter

I chose (d)Network Moniter and (a)Event Viewer but don't know if you need Event Viewer to view info from Network Moniter if not the answer should be c and d.

That's all I can remember, don't be suprised!!! and don't trust the answers in brain dumps, great place for questions but look up the answers yourself.
