Conflicted on MDI and MDI-X
Sorry, those ports made complete sense to me until i started reading different test exams and books and had one or two conflicting responses..

Tricks for remebering items for Network +

Passed Network+, odd balance to the line of questioning...
Passed test, strange focus on questions... I had 15 or 16 questions just for: 1) Kerberos 2)IPSec 3) L2TP Only 1 port question, 1 cable/media question and most of the rest troubleshooting. Kind of an odd balance I thought, when compared to the percentages that the course requirements says the focus is on. I really thought…

Hosts and LMhosts file, difference?
I know that the host file can be used to map domain names to IP address if a DNS server is not being used. But what about LMhosts? From what I understand it can be used to map IP address to netbios names in the event that a WINS server is not be used, is that correct? Thanks.
