Sec+ and Net+ have a lot of similarities. That is why I am taking mine a few months after Sec+. I recommend you start studying Sec+ right away. Don't let time go by and you forget stuff.

I wouldn't say "a lot." Network+ just happens to have a section on Network security. Makes sense to. CompTIA actually recommends doing Net+ prior to Security+

Didn't quite nail it, but an 802 is decent enough.

just giving a big
for CBT nuggets, love them, they have excellent material for everything Ive studied for from them. Currently have their Exchange 2010 package around here somewhere that I need to get to at some point. Just great stuff hands down.
Congrats to SteveLord & Headstand
Just wanted to share additional free resources I found:
Professor Messer - Free Network+ Video Training (videos feed from Youtube):
http://www.professormesser.com/free...comptia-network-certification-training-course
MC MCSE - Network+ Study Guide (N10-004):
http://www.mcmcse.com/comptia/network/N10004_study_guide.shtml
If anyone used any of the above and can give some feedback that would be great
Also heard about LabSims (lab simulation software), will they help a lot for self-study as well??

Grats, dude!
Passed Network+ yesterday with a score of 802!
I did about 3 weeks of studying. Originally planned to take it on Black Friday but moved it up two weeks because I wanted to be able to put the certification on my resume by the job application deadline.
Thank you all again who provided advice and resources. I just bought my Security+ by Darril Gibson book last night from Amazon, so that will be taken next before year end.

Congrats man. Hope you get the job!
No worries man; it's pretty easy. The labs are pretty fun though
I'm about to schedule my ICND2 sometime soon. I'm a week or so away from finishing my study material for it.

As far as I understand it, the ICND1 has minimal command line configurations and the majority of the configuration is done via the SDM. That's a huge relief to me because I was sweating the configs a lot.

Hmm when I took it not even two months ago, all the configs were CLI... there was no SDM on it at all.

i am working on my MCITP now. my company pays for my exams and they also give us bonuses for passing exams. i just took to 70-640 exam like 3 weeks ago and after reading the book and going through a practice exam, i passed with plenty of room to spare. i'm now studying for the 70-642 now. so far, there really isn't anything i didn't learn in college in the 70-642 besides ipv6 but we'll see as i get further into the book
my company have a huge push for microsoft certs right now because microsoft is changing the way the determine who is a certified gold partner. instead of being a certified partner across the board for all microsoft products, they are breaking it down into many categories on which you can become a gold certified partner. this requires companies to have more people certified in different areas but it can also help identify who is better suited to do certain tasks.

I'm holding off on that till next year. From what I've read, the 70-680 for Windows 7 is no joke. I've seen some of that through practice questions already. But I've also heard that Server 2008 experience is very helpful.
techexams.net has a ton of resources and is very active.

Gratz dude. I heard the ICND2 requires you to be a NAT command line junkie.

Yeah there was a couple NAT trick questions. It will certainly serve you good to know NAT like the back of your hand. That was actually the area I did poorly on. Basically, study everything; you'll be asked everything hehe
