Greg,
You've come to the right place to get on the fast track to passing the
CCIE. Most people on this list pass it the first time. Most without even
having touched a router. In fact a couple people got theirs by accident,
and never even took the lab. It just showed up on their doorstep one day.
Personally, I found that mastering AOL was beneficial to gaining networking
knowledge, as I now know that 'You've got mail' indicates that a network
packet thingy was sent to me. Traceroute and nslookup are actually the same
thing. They are both carry-over commands from the Macintosh OS, that will
list the routing table of all your neighboring routers. It's a very
powerful and sometimes dangerous set of commands. If you're currently
supporting Solaris, go to the support section and download the current
patches for them, as they're both vulnerable to dry rot. ('Dry Rot' is a
term covered in the Doyle CCIE book). But to prepare for the CCIE, I'd skip
right past the Doyle books, and purchase the Cisco 12.2 Documentation set.
It covers everything you need to know, and it's very concise. Best of luck.

Hi I am new to cisco I have a quick question for you network guys. What
book should I read to be a CCIE? I read a book and now I am Sun certified
Solaris Admin. I want to continue my learning and become a smart IT guy.
How can I get to the six figure plus salaries the fastest? I have very
little IT experience except using MS Office and AOL but I can really click
around to get this stuff working. I think network expert is the next
logical step. Also I was reading about traceroute and nslookup, does
anybody have any good explanations of how these thingies work?
Thanks
Greg
