Chas, I use Packet Tracer to run the commands and set up networks as Jeremy does in the vids. Gives you GUI and CLI access to routers and switches, pretty decent.
If you keep at them it all starts sinking in and becomes a lot more familiar.
I got the Official CCNA Exam Guides by W Odom but really couldn't get to grips with them, read a few pages before falling asleep on it! Went back to the CBT Nuggets vids and all was good. My score on ICND1 wasn't great, but could pass it again with a higher score, just needed that first confidence boost to get me started and a pass is a pass!
You can find/download most top notch guides/vids/tools on usenet, but best to sign up to a paid server for trouble free access. I use giganews with vypervpn which avoids my line getting throttled by ISP as they monitor NNTP for big downloads. They do trials of their service which may be worth a shot.
PM me your name and email and I can refer you if you like
