Hello, I am thinking about getting Micro Soft Certified Engineering deploma, and I will get the admission in a computer academy in a few days, and a friend of mine told me that if I get another computer for home and make a network at home then I can practice what I learn in the academy even when I am at home, So what I want to know is that is it true that by having just 2 computers network at home I will be able to practice some part of my study at home? Please Guide me, Thanks

Yes, making a network at home is great practice. Especially if one machine is using w2k server. I loaded and reloaded, tried this and that many times. Great for learning!

Yip, the clients don't have to be flash either. A low end pentium or high end 486 will do.

Having a third computer (something old like Hmmm suggested) would also be of help, specially for the routing portion. It just has to be able to run the Win98/NT4 workstation client.
Get VNC so that you can control all the machines from one (saves the cost of more monitors).

The one thing everyone is missing here is that most networks are not flat, so if you could get your hands on a few Cisco routers and setup your server on one subnet and your worksta on another thats the real test, flat LANs are boring and not to the real world which most of your LAN will not be flat , but across diff subnets.

Another thing employers are looking for is people that have at least some degree of communication skills. I'd recommend an English class so you can at least formulate a complete sentence and learn something about punctuation.
