You forced me to reopen the topic. :-) Though it probably doesn't matter
to anyone, I am very impressed with your response to all this, and I will
help you anytime you need it now. As to your question is is unreasonable...
No, it is not unreasonable, but I see people trying everyday with minimal
experience and that certification to do something, and I love it, and I see
people with 10 years of experience SPIT on the certification idea; they say,
you want someone who can take tests, or someone who can do the job. Boy,
that would become the longest discussion this group has seen in a long time
I would imagine.

I seem to have created a bit of a stir - and I apologize to both Edgar and
the list in general for my rudeness. I do indeed expect to post questions
[already have in fact] to the list, and I'm always grateful for advice and
pointers.
On the other hand - and I've already replied to this offline with Edgar - is
it unreasonable to assume a high [and broad] level of networking expertise
from someone billing themselves as a certified Networking AND Design
Associate?
I'm working on these self-same certifications - and I intend to do it in
such a way that when I have the credentials, I'll also possess the hands-on
skills they're supposed to represent. I could read a book, browse a website,
memorize a few practice exams and very likely breeze through any written
exam Cisco presents.
To then mis-represent myself as a credentialed networking craftsman though -
would be an insult to every certified individual with the skills to back
them up - and just the sort of behavior that belittles the accomplishments
of those who have come before.
So - I throw myself upon the mercy of the court - and plead guilty for
lobbying for truth in advertising.

I don't have much time to respond to this one due to a large looming
project, except...
1) Drew seems to have a nasty non-helpful attitude, and if you (Drew) post
to the list asking any questions, I hope you are greeted with an equally
sarcastic and immature response as yours.
2) Edgar, I would recommend that you at least try something before posting
something like where do I start. I think this list is more I have tried
something and it doesn't work, or I have this situation, and what are your
recommendations. MOST everyone will give you great advice and
recommendations when you approach it this way. Except for a select few, and
you have to expect that from any list. :-)

Does your signature say CCNA/CCDA?
Did you pay someone to study for you and take the exams?

Friends,
I have a Cisco 2505, laptop on Win98, and a desktop with Linux
6.2 and I will like to connect them.
I have a PCMCIA ethernet LAN card for the laptop, an ethernet
LAN for the PC with cables all around.
The objective is to learn Cisco router configuration and
Linux/Win98 TCP/IP operations.
Anyone want to volunteer to instruct me to put all the pieces to
together over the coming week or so?
