The ISBN is 0471210137. There's just one book called "Troubleshooting Campus Networks" by Priscilla Oppenheimer and Joseph Bardwell, so it shouldn't be hard to find. :-) You can buy it hardback or as an e-book. Maybe that other ISBN is for the e-book. Wiley e-books are in a format that must be viewed with a file-reading program called Adobe Acrobat ebook Reader, which you can download from Adobe.com. I've never seen the e-book and can't comment on it. You probbaly want to get the hardback to be safe. Thanks for considering the book. I hope you like it if you do end up getting it. _______________________________ Priscilla Oppenheimer www.troubleshootingnetworks.com www.priscilla.com > > If not can someone give me the correct one? > > ""Priscilla Oppenheimer"" wrote in > message > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Newell Ryan D SrA 18 CS/SCBT wrote: > > > > > > I have read a part of this book.
