How to Network Tip of the Week #51 – 28th August 2008

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

Welcome to the fifty first www.howtonetwork.net tip of
the week.

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

Welcome New Members

A big welcome to the 60 new members who joined this week.
We all look forward to seeing you on the discussion forum
and congratulaing you when you pass your exams.

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

Members Passing

Well done to Robert Szymanek who passed his CCENT this
week. Robert put a lot of hard work in and used the live
rack for many hours and deserved to pass.

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

CCNA Simplified – Out This Week

My CCNA study guide ‘CCNA Simplified’ will be released this
week. I will be adding it to the website this week. I am
in the process of sorting out a distribution site in the
UK and USA. There will be a discounted price for members
of howtonetwork.net

The book is basically the theory, labs and easy way to
subnet guide but in soft back form so you can carry it
around with you. It will come with lots of downloadable
software (worth over $400).

Please keep an eye on the home page for the book details
appearing in the next couple of days.

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

Big Favour Please

Thanks to all of you who visited the below site and filled
in the feedback. No doubt you are now enjoying your exam
or cram cards.

If you haven’t done so yet there is still time to complete
the survey.

As a thank you, when you have done that, drop me an
e-mail at help@howtonetwork.net with the subject
‘Review Done’ and in the body tell me if you want a
never before seen practice exam or free CCNA study card
deck.

I will send out your tools within a few days.

Please can you do it now so you don’t forget. Thanks.

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

Cisco CCNA and CCENT Cram Cards Added

More cram decks are now on the below page. I have added
IP addressing, WAN, Wireless, Switching and now Routing
decks which will give you plenty to be getting on with. I
will add a couple more next week.

CCNA Cram

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

Live Cisco Rack

As you know, members have access to 3 live racks of Cisco
equipment. The thing is, I can see lots of you with
accounts set up who have never used a single hour! If you
want to pass your CCNA or CCENT you will need at least 15
hours time on Cisco kit so what are you waiting for?

CCNA Rack

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

Pass Your CCNA in 60 Days

I have almost finished the 60 days to CCNA plan. I am
looking for 10 very keen individuals who really want to
pass their CCNA and are willing to pilot the 60 days plan.

You must be willing to work hard, give feedback and be
able to dedicate 2 hours per day to passing. I am not
interested in hearing from people who blame work, family
or other things for not having time to study. We all have
challenges to overcome (I am writing this at 05:30) so if
you are willing to take responsibility for your learning
then please drop me an e-mail telling me why you should be
one of the 10 to be on the test team.

You don’t have to be a member of the site but you must
have access to CCNA study material and Cisco routers and
switches to practise on because the 60 day plan features
lots of hands on practise.

I plan to start the pilot next week once I have finished
the content.

If you follow my study plan and advice, you will pass your
CCNA 60 days after having started it (so it isn’t just a
clever name).

help@howtonetwork.net

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

Cisco Exam Syllabuses

We have added clickable Cisco syllabuses to the site. This
means you can follow your study time in line with how
Cisco are going to structure your exam questions.

I have noticed that there are a couple of areas which
they appear to have left vague and there are a few other
areas which we don’t have labs for (such as RSTP+). I
really don’t think you would ever be asked to configure
some of the stuff they are asking for in the exam but we
will endeavour to add more content nonetheless.

http://www.howtonetwork.net/public/department94.cfm

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

CCNA Weekend Bootcamps – UK

If you fancy a weekend of routing and switching fun then
please feel to join us on one of our famous CCNA weekend
boot camps with a 97% exam success rate.

Dates are available in Cardiff, Milton Keynes, Birmingham
Dublin and North London. Other venues to follow.

How to Network Tip of the Week #52 – 4th September 2008

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

Welcome to the fifty second www.howtonetwork.net tip of
the week.

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

Where did August Go?

Who stole August? It was there a minute ago. I just went
off to Starbucks to get a coffee and it went? Sheesh. Well
then, it must mean autumn is on the way and if the
weather is bad you might as well stay in and study for
your CCNA. It is either that or watch re-runs of Friends.

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

CCNA Simplified – Out Now

Finally. I feel like early retirement. Writing the CCNA
Study Guide was easy. The hard part was all the cover
design, typesetting and then setting up the distribution.

CCNA Simplified is in my opinion the best CCNA study guide
available. I have stripped away all the useless jargon and
irrelevant information you get in most CCNA manuals and
left a manual designed to not only get you through your
CCNA exam but give you the confidence to use your skills
on a live network.

You also receive over $400 in study software including my
CCNA cram guide, flash study cards, practise exams, videos,
seven mini-quizzes and the Subnetting Cheat Chart I
created which lets you answer any subnetting question in
the CCNA or CCENT exam in a few seconds.

For those who have not joined the site yet, there is a
special offer if you decide to do so. You get 20 rack
hours instead of 10 so when you join, buy the book and drop
me an e-mail.

Members price is £27 in the UK and $47 US dollars. If
you buy the book as a member you also get an extra 10
rack hours so drop me an e-mail once your order goes in.
Make sure your rack account is set up if you haven’t
gotten round to doing that yet.

Non-members price is £37 in the UK and $67 in US dollars.

We can deliver at the moment to the UK, USA, Canada and
Australia. If you live elsewhere, please drop us an
e-mail and we can calculate postage and add it to the
checkout.

CCNA Study Guide

Please let us know if anything is not clear on the order
page or if you experience any problems whilst ordering.
I have tested the pages and links but there may be
something I have missed.

Pass Your CCNA in 60 Days

I have chosen the pilot team now.

We will be going ahead in a few days and once the scheme
has been tested it will be going live for you. For those
of you who are struggling to get some structure to your
studies or find the time then this programme will be
a massive help to you.

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

CCNP Boot Camp

We have a Cisco CCNP boot camp starting in November this
year. Any reader of this newsletter can come on the CCNA
weekend for no charge when they book on the CCNP. That
means you save £397 and you still have plenty of time to
pass your CCNA in time for the CCNP.

Cisco CCNP Certification

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

How to Network Tip of the Week #53 – 11th September 2008

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

Welcome to the fifty third www.howtonetwork.net tip of
the week.

There is lots to tell you this week so please read the
below carefully.

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

Banish Cisco Exam Nerves Forever

I don’t often get excited but this week I have been very
very excited indeed.

I have found that the biggest reason you might fail the
exam is NOT lack of knowledge but exam nerves. You know,
the knot in the pit of your stomach as you drive to the
testing centre. Sweaty palms, shaking hands, nervous
laughter.

The questions pop up and your mind goes blank. You read
all about OSPF but now the question is there you simply
can’t recall the information. That is $250 you couldn’t
afford to waste gone forever!

Well no more. I have hired the UKs top hypnotherapist to
record a Cisco exam success audio. If you listen to it
every evening you will feel motivated, focused and
confident when it comes to exam day. You may even find
yourself looking forward to it.

Best of all. It is free to members of www.howtonetwork.net

their proud owners.

CCNA Study Guide

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

CCNA Student Interviewed

I have started to interview students who have passed their
Cisco CCNA.

How did they fit time in for study? Was it as hard as
people say or not too bad? How did they cope during the
exam and does the ‘?’ key work on the router simulator
during the exam practicals.

All this and more on the podcast page and more interviews
to follow.

CCNA Podcast

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

Contributors Wanted

The site is growing faster than I can keep up with it. I
am looking to hire writers for the below content. I will
let you know more next week but if you know anyone who
can write excellent quality content for me in easy to
understand language then please get them to contact me.

CCNP – All 4 modules
CCNA – Security
CCNA – Wireless
CCNA – Voice
CCDA

I will be posting an official advert on Elance later in
the week. All applicants must come via that advert. I will
want to see a 5 page sample of their writing if they apply.

help@howtonetwork.net

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

Pass Your CCNA in 60 Days

The pilot team have started on their 5 day prep sessions
and then will move onto the full 60 day programme.

Once I have some feedback I will be going live so the
rest of you can get your studies on track. You can
pre-register for the programme via the below link and
of course there is no charge at all for this. If you want
to do anything to help me then please tell your friends.

CCNA in 60 Days

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

Coming to Boston – USA

I will be in Boston MA for an internet marketing conference
from 2-7th October. If any of you live around there we
can catch up for a coffee.

I will be looking to do some sight seeing as well.

Welcome to the fifty fourth www.howtonetwork.net tip of
the week.

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

Banish Cisco Exam Nerves Forever

The first person to use the Cisco exam hypno audio passed
his CCNA last week.

Danny said:

Guys,

I just got back from the test centre where I passed CCNA on
the second try! With 928!…. 2-3 hours study a day and
loads of prep tests. Finally the CCNA Hypnosis mp3 was
great kept me calm so I didn’t make any stupid mistakes!

If you are not listening to the hypno audio then your exam
success chances are going to be negatively affected:

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

Members Passing

Well done to Calvin Carroll who is a Cisco Academy student
and passed his CCNA using this site.

CCNA Exam Scores

It appears that the CCNA exam score has moved from 849 to
pass down to 833. But don’t think it is any easier. There
are several questions within questions sections as well
as several non-marked questions put in my Cisco for
evaluation.

Cisco Live Rack

Sorry to those of you who have been having problems with
the live rack. There have been some delays when connecting
to the devices. I think there is an issue on the server
which hosts the bespoke rack application.

We are also looking at replacing the pix firewall which
keeps falling over!

Problems don’t just come in one’s do they? We are looking
at the issues this week and I hope to have it stable as
soon as possible.

Run Your Own Cisco Training Business

The last 2 licences to teach my famous Cisco CCNA weekend
model are now available in the UK. If you fancy running
your own business on the side but didn’t want to take a
risk or didn’t know where to start then come and visit
the below page.

I will personally train you in all the teaching skills and
marketing skills you need to be a big success. I will also
pay my business coach to coach you on a one to one basis
for 2 months. Emerson charges over £2k per month for his
services and he is worth ten times that.

The current licence holders are making anything from
£1500 – £3500 PER WEEKEND! Don’t take my word for it by
the way, feel free to check out what they are saying on
the below link:

How to Network Tip of the Week #57 – 9th October 2008

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

Welcome to the fifty seventh www.howtonetwork.net tip of
the week.

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

Back From Boston

I got back from my marketing conference in Boson yesterday.

Boston is a beautiful place and I wish I had more time to
spend there. I wasn’t very well while I was there so I
called a doctor to come over to my hotel to see me. 10
minutes and $700 later he told me I had a chest infection
and he wrote me a prescription. I think I am in the wrong
business!

I learned lots of great tips at the conference and met
several multi-millionaires who run internet based
businesses. I will be applying some of what I learned to
www.howtonetwork.net over the coming weeks to give you a
much better site experience.

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

My Exam Day Experience – By John D.

Last week I spoke to one of my howtonetwork.net students
who recently re-took his CCNA. He didn’t have the best of
experiences, partly due to his lack of preparation and
partly due to faults with the testing software.

When you read it you will gain some valuable tips for your
exam day.

CCNA Home Study

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

CCNA Articles

I have added a few CCNA and study articles to my IT
training site www.networksinc.co.uk and if you are still
studying for your CCNA or CCENT you will find some of them
very useful.

http://www.networksinc.co.uk/CCNA_Articles.htm

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

Cisco Exam Coaching

I have been asked several times over the last few months
if I am available to do some private coaching for a few
weeks for individuals who need some extra support to get
through their CCNA or CCENT.

Up until now I have been too busy getting CCNA Simplified
out as well as other projects. I have a few weeks free
leading up to November and can literally take on a hand
full of clients. I only want to work with people who are
serious about passing their exam. If you work with me you
will pass. Period.

I can also assist with you getting into your first IT role
as well as how to approach companies. I have posted a page
where you can join a waiting list and the programme should
go live next week.

Anyone on the waiting list will have first refusal for the
seats. There will be a charge for the programme which will
be weekly and from start to finish should take you 2-8
weeks depending upon your experience and free time to study.

How to Network Tip of the Week #59 – 22nd October 2008

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

Welcome to the fifty ninth www.howtonetwork.net tip of
the week.

I was woken up at 04:50 this morning by the chattering of
my 3 month old daughter, Grace. She wakes up and starts
a little conversation with herself in baby talk. After
some milk and a play on her play mat she is now asleep on
her rocker.

I’m so glad I work from home and can be here to see her
grow.

Anyways…onto Cisco certification updates and news.

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

More Students Passing

Congrats to Antonio Campo who passed with a very healthy
941. Antonio said:

‘Yes it did happen, after lots of hard work, whooohooo.

Many thanks to Paul for putting these wonderful resources
together and providing such a quality service to all ccna
wannabees.

I took Paul’s advice from his material to go ahead and book
the exam. I then preceded to plough every ounce of focus and
energy into preparation before that date.

I pushed it back a couple of times because I didn’t feel
“ready”, but the funny thing is that I only felt ready when
I actually decided not to push it back again, just throw
myself into it and trust that I would be ready, and hey
presto.’

Well done to Duncan Napier who passed with 930 even though
he ran out of time in the exam and missed 2 questions! He
said:

‘A big thank you to Paul for having this site. I spent the
last 9 months doing the Cisco Networking Academy CCNA
Exploration via the Open University. It gave me a good
grounding but I would say that it was howtonetwork.net
that really convinced me that I had sufficient knowledge
to tackle the CCNA 640-802.

Maybe it was the cram guide, or the question of the day
or even the tip of the week that gave me confidence.’

Duncan tells you how he passed on the discussion forum:

Who else is going to pass their CCNA and launch into a
career in IT?

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

Working with the Network Academy

We are meeting with some Cisco Networking Academy leaders
next week to chat over how we can help you with your
studies. Either with hands on boot camps or via the
web site.

If you are on the network academy programme please drop me
a line as I think a bit of pressure on the various leaders
will help give you the boost you need to get through your
exams.

How to Network Tip of the Week #60 – 30th October 2008
===========================================================

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

Has this newsletter really been going for 60 weeks now? So
much has changed on the site and so many people have
passed their CCNA and CCENT.

Looking forward – I am adding some new departments. The
first is a glossary of Cisco IOS commands you will need to
know and how to use them. I will be adding an audio version
of the weekly tips.

Next year we will be adding Cisco Network Academy support
tools and resources as well as looking at the CCNP for
those of you who want to take your knowledge to the next
level.

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

More Students Passing

Congrats to Rajarajan.S who passed his CCNA with a very
healthy 966.

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

New CCNA Cram Guide

I have made some changes to my famous Cisco CCNA cram
guide. There is a new audio version available as well
featuring the changes. The latest version is now 2.2 and
I have taken out some older info and added NAT and
corrected a few minor errors.

Any comments or suggestions for the next version is very
welcome.

I will record the audio version either tomorrow or early
next week. I want to get it out on itunes as well if
anybody knows how to do that.

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

New Challenge Labs

Now there is no excuse for failing your CCNA or CCENT.

There are two new videos and configs uploaded to the
challenge labs page. PPP and CDP labs, both of which are
good candidates for your CCNA exam.

CCNA Boot Camp – UK

The CCNP boot camp is now sold out. If you want to come on
a CCNA boot camp we have spaces on courses in:

Manchester
Birmingham
North London
South London
Cardiff and
Reading

People are now realising that without the CCNA they are
not even going to be called for an interview. I’m afraid
the recruitment companies use a database and search on
that term for networking roles.

More details and to book here:

Show Reel Video

We have added a video show reel for our CCNA course, on it
you can see me chatting about the course but more
importantly the students who came and passed.

I can see other companies alleging that CCNA weekend
training doesn’t work and trying to build themselves up by
knocking others which is very lame. We let our results
speak for themselves.

CCNA Training

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

Private Coaching

There are now only 3 places left on my private coaching

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

Welcome to the sixty-first www.howtonetwork.net tip of
the week.

Phew…just over seven weeks to Christmas! Arrggghh. But
if you want to set a goal and work hard for a few weeks
you could be a CCNA or CCENT well before that.

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

and Nigel Edwards who also passed his CCNA.

New CCNA Audio Cram

enjoying your morning workout.

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

New YouTube Videos

There is a cool new intro to our YouTube videos. I love it
and I hope you do too. This is the first of many videos
showing you the most useful commands you will need to know
as a CCNA and how to use them on a live network.

Cisco SDM Simulator

Thanks to James Carroll, one of our most active students
who found a great SDM emulator which you can download
and use for no charge at all. And it is supplied by Cisco
themselves so you can be sure the quality and features
will be great.

This is a great way to get some SDM hands on experience
for your CCNA exam.

Live Cisco Racks

Due to lack of use, I am going to have to open the live
Cisco racks to the general public. I aim to open them up
in the next few weeks.

There are over 60 empty rack hours every day between the
three racks so you should still have no problems booking
a session. If they get too busy I will close applicants or
add more racks.

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

Private Coaching

There are now only 2 places left on my private coaching
