A+ Exams Guide: Exam 220-301 & Exam 220-302 is a completely updated
version of Christopher A. Crayton's popular, no-nonsense preparatory
guide to the CompTIA A+ certification exams, now covering both the 2001
and 2003 tests. The new material includes information outlining updated
hardware/software technologies such as wireless systems, Windows XP and
ME, and rapidly changing network solutions. All topics are covered in
detail, and focus specifically on allowing readers to easily pass the
exam the first time, without overwhelming them with superfluous
information. Crayton also discusses test-taking techniques, addressing
the return to the conventional linear testing method, as opposed to the
adaptive format of previous years. Testing aids also include helpful
hints throughout the book and practice exams on the CD-ROM.
Historically, only large companies could afford secure networks, which
they created from expensive leased lines. Smaller folks had to make do
with the relatively untrusted Internet. Nowadays, even large companies
have to go outside their private nets, because so many people
telecommute or log in while they're on the road. How do you provide a
low-cost, secure electronic network for your organization?
The
solution is a virtual private network: a collection of technologies
that creates secure connections or "tunnels" over regular Internet
lines--connections that can be easily used by anybody logging in from
anywhere. A number of products now exist to help you develop that
solution.

Altavista Tunnel, Cisco PIX, and the secure shell (SSH).
