lots of utilities questions: make sure you know the following: network monitor, performance monitor, netstat, nbtstat, arp, route, ping, tracert, ipconfig... etc.

lots of questions on connectivity: for example, why does one computer in subnet 1 can ping a host on subnet 2 with ip address, but not with a domain name? (and variation of it)

senario questions includes: you have subnet 1, 2, and 3, why can hosts in subnet 1 & 2 can talk to each other but not with 3, you are using wins, and router is working correctly. (variations of it)

rating questions: make sure you know, snmp, dhcp, wins, dns, because at least 4 questions asks you whether certain configuartion will work or not, and you have to reply either: it works and meet all requirements to it does not work...

subnet masks calcualation: make sure you write down the table before you actually start writing the exam as it will save you time... these questions are straight forward, nothing fancy. about four questions was based on it.

wins partner: pull and push,
one question ask you that you have 2 subnets, 1 in dallas, 1 in seattle, and it ask you to make sure all hosts in both subnets can talk to each other, and it gave you a chart stating the config of the wins server in both subnets... you have to rate whether the config will work or not...
I answered this one e) dont work.

know hosts and lmhosts, differences and similarity.

know dhcp relay agent, dhcp manager, and dhcp options, client reservations etc.

make sure you know that if you have 1 hosts in 1 subnets and the other host in another subnets and both are connected by router, those might have incorrect configured subnet masks which leads to the problem that they might not be able to talk to each other even if they correctly specifed an ip address for the router.

know something about the PPTP, one questions was ask about it.

know that performance monitor can record data and allow you to save the data into a file for later analysis or import to a spreadsheet or database program.

know the fact that netstat start recording network staticstic right after you got the server (computer) running, the statistic is cumulative.

know how to configure routing table, multihome, static & dynamic routing, (very important)

nothing on igmp, sligting windows, nslookup...

if you study the area which i mention above, you should have a very high chance in passing the exam. overall, i found the exam tough and hard, but if you know your stuff, i guess is easy. for me, since i receive no professional training on it, i spent a whole month preparing for it.

please feel free to add on to my comment or correct me if needed.
and if you like to thank me for writing this note, you are welcome, some encouragement is always needed...
