I got it from superbookdeals.com. They run there catalog through amazon. I've bought a C++ book from them at used prices and it was like new.
How to do IT
my reason is simple..
i found all three books.. ExamCram2, the ALL in One, and Davids,
quickly compared them and came to a conclusion,
ExamCram2,,, i used it for the A+ test, liked it.. however, i felt it was too dull and i found more than 1 mistake in that book.. like Win98 has IPconfig and Winipconfig... WRONG! lol.. stupid mistakes like that..
next, the ALL in ONE, seems like a great book.. however, i feel this book is well suited for those who are entry level to the networking feild, which i am not, and goes past the context of the exam. once agian, the book looked great.. but too indepth of things that i already know.
lastly, David Groths 3rd edition. i noticed when i picked up the book, the first thing i saw was the Exam Objectives writen clearly as the books outline.. and thats what i needed.. this book follows the Net+ exam outlines very well, and its easy to read.. reading level was more suited to for me.. as i wish the reading level was more on par with the ExamCram2 book.. but like i said.. they had mistakes.. also, this book comes with a lot of practice questions.. something like 200+ ..
so.. as u know, i went with the Sybex book.
next thing i am gonna get is the premium edition technotes from this site.. mainly for the questions.
24 bucks

Thats the one I have. Half dot com seems to be the cheapest books ive seen sofar. Too bad they dont have reviews like amazon.

One must always remember - ipconfig run from DOS prompt and winipcfg can be started by the run prompt or a DOS box.

It does however ship in 98SE and ME, so if a question was saying 9x then I guess you would have to take a stab. By my reasoning I would say yes, however I'd lay money on Comptia saying no

this is something that i do not like to see.. on the CompTIA exam.. the rule was, win98 uses WINIPCFG and NT uses IPCONFIG... thats why i choose on the test, and thats what i believe was correct..
in the books that i have read..examcram2 indeed said, both utilities were on Win98, however, NT only used IPconfig... in the Sybex book that i am currently reading for my NET+ exam, it clearly goes into 2 sections about this... 1 section is related to Win98 and WinIPcfg, and the 2nd section goes into NT and IPconfig... clearly giving a sense that this is the only way.. not stating that win98 can use both, and NT only has 1 type...
like i said above.. i dont like this.. i think the books should say win98 uses both, however, WINIPCFG is the popular form of use and (should be used on the exam objective, which it is).... vise versa on NT...
other sites that i go to are also like this.. they seperate the 2 utilties to the different ver of OS..
anyhow.. good find..
EDIT:: i will correct myseld now. lol... further reading, as in , reading the TIPS notes in that section.. it clearly says.. "you can also use the ipconfig utility in windows98"//// ouch... i need to read these tips more often...
however. on the exam.. i believe it stated Win9x.. therefore, you must presume it cannot be used, due to win95..
A quick flick through a couple different study books where I used to train also had notes stating that even though some things worked in Win98 or ME that when Comptia said 9x it was safe to assume W95.
I think the reason behind this is that they can not change one or two questions in the adaptive engine, but have to replace the whole set and that is too expensive. However with the bucks they have made off the Sec+ guys who sat 2 or 3 times they should be flush with cash now

Now I'm sitting here wondering if 95 has it as well. The desire to find out is warring with the effort it will take to ghost a box for later restoration, not to mention actually finding my Win95OSR2 CD hehe
Anyway, yeah, for test purposes, winipcfg for 9x, ipconfig for the NT based stuff. I guess knowing ipconfig works in the older versions of 9x is useful just in case the graphical version won't work or something hehe
But it wouldn't surprise me if some of the folks who wrote the CompTIA test questions were unaware of the fact that ipconfig does exist prior to NT4

In Windows 9x the command prompt is actually DOS (a DOS VM anyway)so the only command natively in windows is winipcfg - in windows NT the command prompt is also windows NT, not DOS, so IPconfig is a windows command.
That's how I see it - and I can't see it any other way.
network+ is in traditional exam format
Then this should be interesting:
