If you pretend that the old CCNA exam was in Kansas... then for the new one you have to act like you're not in Kansas anymore -- but we won't call you Toto.

If you've got the Cisco Press books, you should be okay. If you have the Sybex book -- download the updates. I think NAT is one of the old CCNP topics that moved down to the CCNA. The Sybex book is weak on NAT -- but they have the new downloadable chapter.

Thanks mikej412 I will try that .

If you have the 5th edition Sybex book it should have the NAT stuff on the CD already.

I have the 5th edition but one of my rottweilers at the cd... The chapter was rather sparce in the book.
But then again, I didnt really think that the cisco press book really went into huge amounts of detail.

so I guess the second edition of Sybex wont cut it. I am I showing my age?

The second edition book is very out dated.
