I don't know about routers but I am very good with computers and even
Windows 95/98. I also have responsibility of maintaining a network which has
5 computers and a hub (I think). Is this enough or should I get a book. If
so could someone make a suggestion.

for over 15 years and he currently holds CCNP and making way over 6 figures.
He said if he study and go take the test, he will fail the first time. I
hope this will help you decide.

Nice try, Herr Trollmeister.

Cisco now has 3 certification paths each with their own tracks.
CCNA / CCNP Cisco Certified Network Associate / Professional
CCDA / CCDP Cisco Certified Design Associate / Professional
CCIE Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert
Let me just say that the CCIE is probably not where you will be starting off. :) Take a look into the CCNA first off. There are many publishers who have put books out on the topic.

have a loooooooooooooong way to go. No matter how smart you are, how many
books you read, if you don't have any access to at least 3 or 4 Cisco 2500
routers, you won't pass CCIE lab test.
CCNA is a good first step.
Good luck.

I believe Jim was correct. This guy is a troll.

If you are good with computers, just study router books and take the test. Good
luck!

instructor led training with at least 6 months of "boot camp" preparation.
Having access to routers, switches, firewalls, and any other type of Cisco
gear is a must. Some CCIEs claim that the secret is in self-study (that's
easier said than done). Expect taking at least a year to learn the material
and lots, LOTS of hands on with the routers.

If you take the tests, you have to not only know the "hands on" but you also
have to be able to explain most of the theory behind the routing and networking
of protocols. This test is not one of "pure" book and only minor hands on... It
requires a lot of capability to troubleshoot and diagnose problems associated
with networking multiple operating systems, and ensuring that nothing steps on
anything else.
Another message stated that an instructor only had a CCNP after teaching for 10
years... Unless you are able to eat, breathe and sleep networks for a year, you
will not go through the CCIE lab the first time through... This include
routers, switches, comm devices, cables, panels, telcos and consoles.
The nice thing is that once you get through the lab, you can get ready to keep
your skills honed and re-tested every two years...
Now that is just my opinion, I could be wrong....
