Basic understanding of\n1. Knowledge of any 2 operating systems\n2. Why need networking\n3. Whats the use with network\n4. Interest to learn\n\nError message reading & analysing skills:-)\n\nScricpting will help a network engineer to automate the things, so knowledge about any scripting language.\n\nIf you know how to cheat, then u can control others not to cheat on network.

so...\nvery popular IT Security planing, IP network design and prinicpals of adaptation, Traffic Engineering and QoS politics. BTW, HW select methods, networking equipment - corporate use rulles, e-mail and web using policy (part of IT Security planing or stand-alone)...\n\nDo you need more, contact me (data in profile)

A network administrator performs the day to day tasks necessary to keep the network running as well as managing access to resources.  This typically requires a smaller skill set and less experience than a network engineer.\n\nA network engineer is responsible for the design, implementation, and system recovery activities associated with a network.\n\nBecoming a network administrator requires sufficient knowledge about an environment to use the vendor tools and interfaces.  For example, I recommend obtaining the MCSA certification if you want to administer a Microsoft Windows environment.  \n"Microsoft Certified Systems Administrators (MCSAs) administer network and systems environments based on the Microsoft Windows operating systems. Specializations include MCSA: Messaging and MCSA: Security."

Hey go to this link and you will find some good information about networking http://computer.howstuffworks.com/question353.htm

Work on computers, and especially networks.  Set them up, manage them, troubleshoot.  They can do just about anything computers, such as program.

Yes, but they are not a gaurantee for a networking job. CCNC/CCNP will only add value to you. Ultimate thing will be your knowledge level. You must also know a programming language so that you can program a network monitoring software.\n\nThanks

actually electronics and comm. engineering comes under one stream only.but taking aspect of industry a communication engineer works in the field of wireless,gsm and other technologies of communication.

First you should learn about Internet and Information Tecnology.\nSecond its seems that it is bit bigger project, amature planing ca'nt do it,you should find some IT engineer to do this.\nI am sorry if i d'nt make any sense.

Some good advice in the other answers, so I will just highlight a couple things.  Keep in mind that when I hear networking position, I assume you are talking about the infrastructure and not necessarily servers.  My expertise is with the routers and switches.\n\nFirst, know the OSI model, know how each layer works.  Know IP addressing.  Know the difference between the various types of equipment, if you don't know the difference between a switch and hub you wont get far.  Be prepared to show good troubleshooting skills and make sure you are organized in your answer to that question.  Know the basics of several different WAN protocols.  Know Ethernet.\n\nI realize there is a lot there  and not everyone will know everything.  Number 1 rule - DO NOT TRY TO BS THE INTERVIEWER.  They will know the answers to the questions they ask.  When I interview someone, I keep makng the questions harder and harder until they can't answer the next one.  So I don't expect them to know everything.\n\nLike the Boy Scouts say - Be Prepared.  Good luck.

hey, im also doing computer science and information systems. Although networing may not end up being in the main scope of what you end up doing, i would recommend it highly. It is an amazingly helpful subject and it's always good to have that extra bit of experience. good luck!!

Yah it's a bit true. If you have ccna certification then its true. If you have a merit background or if you are a topper throughout, then you are not bound to networking only. Best OF Luck boy , Build up your Career!!

1. You need to know how to program, high-level language as, c++, basic, and etc.\n\n2. You need to have knowledge of ASM.\n\n3. Understand how network/atm/ports/socket works.\n\n4. Understand how system files works for OS such as linux, unix, and Windows.\n\nonce you have knowledge of those. You need to understand loopholes, errors, backdoor, and virus to create vulnerability for you to access other people. I would recommend doing so out of your personal enjoyment would be okay, anything other than that can be considered criminating action.

Go programming... Sounds like its easier to get things going. Networking has programming and data communication type issues.

Anyone that sutes u\nif are interseted in the networking side go for CISCO\nif want to become a system admin go for MCSE

CCIE being the engineer level, however all the Cisco Certified professional designations are excellent. CCNA, CCNP
