Thanks,
 
cbaker,

To do this one, simply redraw it in a way you can visualise it.

Line them up in sets of parallel and series resistors with A on the left side and B on the right.

Then go through and start using the rules for finding out resistances across parallel and series R.

Give it a shot, post what you've done, and we'll be more than happy to help you out.
