Introduction
MCSE Training Guide: TCP/IP is designed for advanced end-users,
service technicians, and network administrators who are consider-
ing certification as a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer
(MCSE), Microsoft Certified Product (MCP) Specialist or as a
Microsoft Certified Solution Developer (MCSD). The TCP/IP
exam (Exam 70-59: “Internetworking with Microsoft TCP/IP on
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0”) tests your ability to implement, ad-
minister, and troubleshoot information systems that incorporate
TCP/IP as well as your ability to provide technical support to us-
ers of Microsoft Windows NT employing TCP/IP protocols.
Who Should Read This Book
This book is designed to help advanced users, service technicians,
and network administrators who are working for MCSE certifica-
tion prepare for the MCSE “Internetworking with Microsoft TCP/
IP on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0” exam (#70-59).
This book is your one-stop-shop. Everything you need to know to
pass the exam is in here, and Microsoft has certified it as study
material. You do not need to take a class in addition to buying this
book to pass the exam. However, depending on your personal
study habits or learning style, you may benefit from taking a class
in addition to the book or buying this book in addition to a class.
This book also can help advanced users and administrators who
are not studying for the MCSE exam but are looking for a single-
volume reference on TCP/IP implementation.
- 2 MCSE Training Guide: TCP/IP
How This Book Helps You
This book takes you on a self-guided tour of all the areas covered
by the MCSE TCP/IP exam and teaches you the specific skills you
need to achieve your MCSE certification. You’ll also find helpful
hints, tips, real-world examples, exercises, and references to addi-
tional study materials. Specifically, this book is set up to help you
in the following ways:
Objective . Organization. This book is organized by major exam topics.
Every objective you need to know for the “Internetworking
with Microsoft TCP/IP on Microsoft Windows NT 4.0” exam
is covered in this book; we’ve include a margin icon, like the
one in the margin here, to help you quickly locate these
objectives. There are pointers at different elements to direct
you to the appropriate place in the book if you find you
need to review certain sections.
. Deciding how to spend your time wisely. Pre-chapter quizzes
are at the beginning of each chapter to test your knowledge
of the objectives contained within that chapter. If you already
know the answers to those questions, you can make a time-
management decision accordingly.
. Extensive practice test options. Plenty of questions are at the
end of each chapter to test your comprehension of material
covered within that chapter. An answer list follows the ques-
tions so you can check yourself. These practice test options
will help you decide what you already understand and what
requires extra review on your part. The CD-ROM also con-
tains a sample test engine that will give you an accurate idea
of what the test is really like.
You’ll also get a chance to practice for the certification exams
using the test engine on the accompanying CD-ROM. The ques-
tions on the CD-ROM provide a more thorough and comprehen-
sive look at what your certification exams really are like.

Hardware and Software Needed
As a self-paced study guide, much of the book expects you to use
Windows NT Server and follow along through the exercises while
you learn. Microsoft designed their implementation of TCP/IP to
operate in a wide range of actual situations, and the exercises in
this book encompass that range. However, the exercises require
only a single stand-alone Windows NT computer running TCP/IP
Server. The computer should meet the following criteria:
. Computer on the Microsoft Hardware Compatibility List
. 486DX2 66-Mhz (or better) processor for Windows NT Server
. 16 MB of RAM (minimum) for Windows NT Server
. 340-MB (or larger) hard disk for Windows NT Server
. 3.5-inch 1.44-MB floppy drive
. VGA (or Super VGA) video adapter
. VGA (or Super VGA) monitor
. Mouse or equivalent pointing device
. Two-speed (or faster) CD-ROM drive (optional)
. Network Interface Card (NIC)
. Presence on an existing network, or use of a 2-port (or
more) mini-port hub to create a test network
. MS-DOS 5.0 or 6.x and Microsoft Windows for Workgroups
3.x preinstalled
. Microsoft Windows 95 (floppy version)
. Microsoft Windows NT Server (CD-ROM version)
It is somewhat easier to get access to the necessary computer hard-
ware and software in a corporate business environment. It is hard-
er to allocate enough time within the busy workday to complete a
self-study program. Most of your study time may occur after nor-
mal working hours, away from the everyday interruptions and
pressures of your regular job.

Tips for the Exam
Remember the following tips as you prepare for the MCSE/MCSD
certification exams:
. Read all the material. Microsoft has been known to include
material not specified in the objectives. This course has in-
cluded additional information not required by the objectives
in an effort to give you the best possible preparation for the
examination, and for the real-world network experiences to
come.
. Complete the exercises in each chapter. They will help you
gain experience using the Microsoft product. All Microsoft
exams are experienced-based and require you to have used
the Microsoft product in a real networking environment.
Exercises for each objective are placed at the end of each
chapter.
. Take each pre-chapter quiz to evaluate how well you know
the topic of the chapter. Each chapter opens with one essay
question per exam objective covered in the chapter. Follow-
ing the quiz are the answers and pointers to where in the
chapter that objective is covered.
. Complete all the questions in the “Review Questions” sec-
tions. Complete the questions at the end of each chapter—
they will help you remember key points. The questions are
fairly simple, but be warned, some questions may have more
than one answer.
. Review the exam objectives in the Microsoft Preparation
Guide. Develop your own questions for each topic listed. If
you can make and answer several questions for each topic,
you should pass.

Note Although this book is designed to prepare you to take and
pass the “Internetworking with Microsoft TCP/IP on Microsoft
Windows NT 4.0” certification exam, there are no guarantees.
Read this book, work through the exercises, and take the
practice assessment exams.
When taking the real certification exam, make sure you answer
all the questions before your time limit expires. Do not spend
too much time on any one question. If you are unsure about an
answer, answer the question as best you can and mark it for
later review when you have finished all the questions. It has
been said, whether correctly or not, that any questions left un-
answered will automatically cause you to fail.
Remember, the object is not to pass the exam, it is to understand
the material. Once you understand the material, passing is simple.
Knowledge is a pyramid; to build upward, you need a solid foun-
dation. The Microsoft Certified System Engineer and Solution
Developer programs are designed to ensure that you have that
solid foundation.
Good luck!
