Summary: Great for cramming, Fantastic as a reference.
Comment: I read both the Sams book and the Sybex book for TCP/IP 4. The Sams book is the perfect book for testing. Pay close attention to the tables in the appendix C1-C6. Worth 20 points on the test. The Sams book will also make a better real world reference guide.

Summary: Good explanation of TCP/IP.
Comment: I liked this book a lot. The author gave a lot of clear cut examples, defined everything completely, and illustrated a lot of main ideas. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn IP. Make sure you understand the sample test questions the author gives you. I passed the test with a 883 after reading this book, and a little bit of effort.

The only bad thing about this book is that the first and last chapters are not really that helpful in terms of its relavance with IP. They are only introductions, and test taking tips respectively. But all in all it is a great book.

Summary: Buy The Later Version Instead
Comment: No. Don't get this book. Instead get the SAMS Teach Yourself TCP/IP 2nd Edition in 24 Hours. The 24 hour book looks like an upgrade of the 14 our, tho it does not say so. The 14 hour book is flawed. After the first few chapters it starts using concepts without explaining them first. It got lost in the mechanics of binary ANDing while attempting to explain subnet masks, confusing the subject no end. When it failed to adequately explain connectionless vs connection protocols I went looking, found the "Second Edition". Someone at SAMS realized the poor quality of the 14 hour book and corrected the situation with the 24 hour one.

Note, however, that I am not an MSCE candidate, sa maybe I missed appreciating something related to MSCE in the 14 hour edition.
