Just started the long road to studying for a CCNA as part of a work based training (well not so much work based as they wont give me a pay rise so Im taking time at their expense to study!). Im currently using CBT Nuggets which are great, as well as google (of course!) and a guiding hand from our engineers when I get stuck. Proud to say I just configured my first small Cisco network connecting 3 offices via RIP and its all working first time!
Now to put in some access lists.......
