Re: New Starter
First, go to www.cisco.com everyday and explore. It has a tremendous amount of information. You'll be doing this anyway, so you might as well get used to it now. A couple of books I bought in the beginning might be helpful to you. I picked up the Sybex CCNA study guide by Todd Lammle, a very handy tutorial. You may want to wait a few weeks until the newer books start coming out. The CCNA test changed recently so the new study guides should be out shortly. Another book that helped me immensely: The LAN Times Guide to Wide Area Networking. This will help you understand what people are talking about when they mention frame relay, ISDN, T1, DS0, AMI, B8ZS, ESF, etc. Another GREAT book that is mostly for more advanced people but I wish I'd gotten right from the beginning: Routing TCP/IP by Jeff Doyle. The first few chapters give the best introduction to networking that I've read. The rest of the book will be exceptionally useful to you and you'll want to get a copy of this sometime...it might as well be sooner rather than later. But get it after you've read a couple of these other books. The new Cisco course for CCNA level people is ICND, Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices. If there is a CiscoPress book for this out, you'd be well served to get a copy of that, as well. It covers TCP/IP basics, addressing, OSI model, switching, ISDN, frame relay, etclots of great topics. I took a look at the course books for this class the other day and I'm VERY impressed at how they've improved it over the original ICRC class.

Re: New Starter
Great sites!! I would like to add one more to the list. As a CCNA student I developed an Artificial Intelligence Cisco glossary called the Ciscobot that includes links to most of the major Cisco information sites. You can find it here. http://www.ciscobot.com On one other point, I believe the thread was (Many hats). The way our Cisco Academe worked was to first train us for the A+ then Ms. server before the CCNA curriculum. It was a lot more work but gave the students a better understanding of how the whole system inter reacts. My end goal is is the CCNP with a Linux background.
