Steve, Saturday's Mastermind Mail Is Here!

Steve,

Welcome to the Saturday, June 21 edition of The Mastermind!   

We've got a lot of ground to cover today, including the answers to my latest CCNA / CCENT question set and a free tutorial on floating static routes!  A new set of CCNA questions has been posted on the site as well, and there's a link to those questions in today's newsletter.

Microsoft Server 2008 certification practice questions are on the way, and I'm pleased to announce I'll be adding a free Cisco and Microsoft Video Training section to the website in August as well!

In the meantime....

Let's get started!

I haven't forgotten you CCNP candidates - I'll be posting at least one new CCNP question set over the weekend.   In the meantime, enjoy these questions and make sure to read that floating static route example!
