The Network+ examinations have changed a little since I took it. So we’ll take it one step at a time. The current exam is based on the 2009 Objectives. These objectives are listed below from the CompTIA outline. My commentary is in bold. If you have questions as the coarse proceeds please contact me. Not sure what’s the best way to do that yet but I can be contacted on www.mahalo.com or through the Responses you post. As of yet I haven’t received a single contribution but feel free to buy me a Red Bull. Or on Mahalo I can be payed for my answers to questions so that may be a useful resource.
