Okay new here, lost confuse, and well feel bad 70-270

I've just completed 70-270, and well I'm shamed to admit failed.
What I would like to ask, is this (and yes you may be justified in doing so
but please no lynching me yet!)
Was it just be having a funny 2hours and going mad, or does the exam
actually reference and ask question relating to networking queries
ie. IP addressing, and server/firewalls
So I gotta know, were did this appear in the course syllabus for
'Installing, Configuring, and Adminstering Windows XP Professional'
it covers things like
Automated Installations.
System Configuration/Monitoring byt use of counters.
Accessibility
Communication devices (nothing to heavy)
A good part of the exam, and it felt like I was doing a CISCO course...
Hmmmmmm

Did you read the "Skills being measured" for the 70-270 exam at:
www.microsoft.com/traincert/exams/70-270.asp
The topics you mentioned are meant to be on the exam:
Implementing, Managing, and Troubleshooting Network Protocols and Services
Configure and troubleshoot the TCP/IP protocol.
Connect to computers by using dial-up networking.
- Connect to computers by using a virtual private network (VPN) connection.
- Create a dial-up connection to connect to a remote access server.
- Connect to the Internet by using dial-up networking.
- Configure and troubleshoot Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).
Connect to resources by using Internet Explorer.
Configure, manage, and implement Internet Information Services (IIS).
Configure, manage, and troubleshoot Remote Desktop and Remote Assistance.
Configure, manage, and troubleshoot an Internet Connection Firewall (ICF).
The page at MS shows "You will need to supplement the course with additional work." for some of the exam objectives.
The best way to prepare for 1 of the core exams including 70-210 and 70-270 is to buy the MS Training Kit, install the OS at home in a lab with at least 1 win2000 domain controller, and take all the labs in the book.
Let us know if you need help with any topics,

I all ready have the MS Training Kit for Windows 2000 4 core exams,
