How to Network Tip of the Week #90 - 11th June 2009

===========================================================

Welcome to the ninetieth www.howtonetwork.net tip of
the week.

===========================================================

A very busy week on howtonetwork.net

Our rack support guy, Jason Parker is settling in now
and allocating rack accounts. He will then be taking over
fulfilling orders and then possibly customer service. This
will give me time to get stuck into adding more content
and new projects such as voice and security.

===========================================================

Inner Circle Coaching Club

I have been asked by several people for extra help and
support. If I can finish some updates this week I may
launch an inner circle coaching group very soon. It will
involve conference calls, homework and other goodies to
give you a boost for your exam preparation.

===========================================================

New Switching Labs Added

There are three new switching labs in the module 3 labs
department. We have removed all 1900 labs now. The labs
are configuring STP root bridges, port security and
routing across VLANs.

You must not attempt your CCNA exam until you have
mastered these labs.

One last thing, I am getting all the pages updated with
css so they look tidier and uniform. It will take a few
weeks to get it all sorted so please bear with us.

More details here:

===========================================================

Feedback for the new 'Hard' exams is coming in thick and
fast. I have changed them so you can check your answers
as you go along. I feel strongly that if you can pass those
before the real exam you are in with a very good chance of
getting through.

Three New Seminars

Last chance to come on our IT marketing weekend which is
running in a few weeks in the UK.

This is going to be your only chance to benefit from
these seminars. Due to starting up another business in a
few weeks, travel plans and another book I will not be
able to run them again.

Forum Question of the Week

Well done to Mark Gray who asked a good question about
IP addresses on a switch. I would add 10 hours rack time
but you don't appear to be using the rack yet so please do
set yourself up.

===========================================================

BSCI Theory Added

Most of the BSCI theory is up and ready to view. We will
be adding some exams next week and then videos. CCNP
security will be written during July/August.
