How can I identify what printing are my books? INTRO and ICND? theyr
both Feb 2004.

This is my first Cisco Experience. I have been practicing with BOSON
Tests but they are very far from reality.

I have tried the Cisco Prep center and still have problems with in
depth concepts.

Thank you for your advice.

Any other suggestions?

Ludwing
