Setup a test network if you don't already have one and get the hands-on!

Print the test objectives from the Comptia site.
Set a time you want to take the test.
Divide the areas up by the available time.
Use plenty of paper and pencils and study the material, taking notes as if
you had to teach a class what you are learning without the books; only your
notes.
What helped me was when taking the practice tests, be sure you know what the
wrong answers are also.

| Get a couple of books on Network+. I like Meyers All-In-One and the Dummies
books. Also, Groth (Sybex Study Guide) is very good. Don't overlook Exam
Cram's Network+ and their Practice Tests book. The best part of all these
books are the questions and practice tests! The CDs have more questions.
(HINT: On the Dummies CD take the practice test files and import them into
Word and edit and print them out!) The best questions and tests are not just
those that tell you what is right, but WHY it is right and WHY the other
choices are wrong.)
If you don't have your A+ (at the very least) BEFORE you take the Network+
you are in for some trouble. The A+ is great background. I studied for six
months for the A+ and then three more for the Network+. I think I found the
Network+ test easier because I had already done the A+. (It took me a year
for the Server+. That was a more difficult test for me, but that's another
story.)
Also, go to the Internet and find all the FREE stuff out there for the
Network+. There are lots of study guides, tests and braindumps. (Don't
forget the tech sites.) But, some of the testdumps have wrong information or
answers. (Hey, some of the above mentioned books have errors!)
The rule of thumb is, take ALL the practice tests you can. If you can
consistently pass them with scores around 85%, then you are probably ready
for the real thing. Also, don't take the test to make a perfect score; take
the test to PASS it and then prepare for the next certification!
Now, here are some things I have noticed about the CompTIA exams:
*They have a few "tricks and traps" here and there. Two of the choices will
be so very "right" but they are looking for the "best" answer. The answer
you choose may be correct, but it may not be the right one! Do the best with
these questions.
*Expect the CompTIA tests to throw in stuff that nobody covers -- some
arcane and esoteric knowledge and terms. Every once in a while they don't
phrase things using mainstream terminology and they expect you to make sense
of it anyway. This is why it is good to study from several study guides. No
one source covers it all.
Hope this helps!

| Set up a small network and practice things. You don't need a big elaborate
one with fancy desktops, but maybe 3 - 5 boxes should do it. Use a KVM
switch and that takes away the need for multiple monitors etc and saves
space. Hook them all up to a small hub and you are on your way.

It's quite obvious where you have been jamming your pearls.

Put the book down
Play around with your PC'S network / internet settings.
Use the commands.
Now if its a bit messed up, get the book and troubleshoot !
You'l learn a lot more from hands an practice than any other way.
