For those who asked what kind of experience I had and how I prepared, here is a quick run down.
I started working on my CCNA in March of 2001, I hadn't touched a router before that. I finished my CCNA in April, finished my CCNP in July, and then took my written on September 9th. From September 9th to the test day I was pretty much non-stop Cisco. I read all of the common books: Caslow Doyle Vol I & II Lan Switching CCIE All In One Cisco Practical Studies Cisco Access List Field Guide Cisco Packetized Voice and Data and many, many dozens of downloaded PDF's off of CCO I bought my own rack so I could work on it as much as possible, but the best thing I did was find 2 other people that were preparing for the exam, and wanted to take it around the same time I did. Having people to bounce ideas and thoeries off of is amazingly helpful. The two others that I studied with were first time test takers also, the first gentleman took it on Jan 6th and is CCIE #8593, the other gentleman took it on Jan 12 and is CCIE #8630. So three for three out of our group is pretty good. My best advice is what you've heard many times: Practice, Practice, Practice...know the commands, you just don't have time to think about it in the lab. Good luck to all.
