This may not be what you want to hear, but if you are lost in Networking Essentials, you need to start with the fundamentals, which an A+ class will teach you. Please tell me that you are taking Windows 2000 and not NT4. You do not have a lot of time to get certified in NT 4

its a good idea to start with an A+ course. it gets you prepared and skims the edges of networking and the IT world. its about 10 months and helps alot.
