I'd recommend starting with the CompTia Network+ material, I'm sure you can find a studyguide online for it, and then research the questions yourself, or purchase one of their prep books. After that, I'd recommend the Cisco CCNA work - it also covers networking, and gives a good overview on how routers/switches etc... work and are implemented/set up.

Of course, the thing I would recommend most is to set up a home network and play around with it. Put up firewalls (iptables, ipfw for free stuff), make a server (apache.org), put up a switch/router (even if it's a little tiny netgear/linksys/securecomputing/whatever you can find), and then break your network. See what's broken when something's pulled out, when you're sending a bunch of packets, etc..., and how to fix those.

What is ComTia Network +?and if you know the detail about their subject do let me know. Is that connectin IP, Protocol, bridge connection, router etc. are inclucded in here? and what server did they learn?

where can i get the Online studyguide?
Please if anyone knows which course will be the best do tell me along with the Institute and the course name. some says learning directly MCSE may cause a problem but some say it won't. so, Jumping directly to MCSE after my BCA will it works? and what is good for Hardware?
could i make a money only if i learn MCSE or MCSE along with Hardware?

You can google all of them and find the outlines. And then, you can google the points on the outline to create your own materials. Or you can visit Amazon.com or some similar site and purchase those books.

If you're just looking for money, go MCSE. However, if you are looking for a good introduction, and want a solid foundation to build up to an MCSE, go Network+. If you study anything hard enough you can pass the tests, but one thing it doesn't measure is how well you actually know it - it just gives you a sheet of paper. I'd recommend researching them and deciding which one you think is best for you.
