CBT Nuggets Exam-Pack 98-366 Microsoft Networking MTA-IT Certifications Study Materials, Training , Video Tutorials Repository

If you're new to IT and networking, this is the place to start. Microsoft's 70-366 certification tells employers that you know how to set up and administer basic networks and have a good foundational knowledge for higher level network administration.

This series shows you how to create good network design, and explains how wireless networking and network equipment (particularly layer 2 and 3 switches and routers) work.
