At any rate, I will say that I am disappointed that Sybex didn't go into enough detail about some of the things it should have.

Without violating any policy of repeating the questions, I'll just say that if you know the port #'s for a protocol, that's great, but you should also know the different functions that the same protocol has over different ports (e.g., NetBIOS runs over 137,138, and 139, but you should be able to differentiate them). There are other protocols that have multiple ports, so just make sure you know them, too!

Congrats!
