Internetworking With TCP/IP: Principals, Protocols and Architecture
by Douglas Comer
My favorite reference for the TCP/IP protocols. If you don't
know how it works, this is the book to refer to so that you can figure it out. This book
is a must for anyone that manage a TCP/IP-based network. |
DNS and BIND (4th Edition) by Paul Albitz and Cricket Liu
The definitive DNS reference! Everything you ever wanted
to know about setting up a DNS server, maintaining zones and creating redundancy in your DNS system. This is not a beginners
book; you should have a basic understanding of DNS when you first open this book. If you have that basic understanding, then
this is an awesome book. |
Firewalls for Dummiesby Brian Komar, Ronald Beekelaar, and Joern
Wettern
Feel like a dummy when it comes to firewalls? Me too. This
collaboration between 3 of my friends has resulted in a great
introduction to firewalls for network managers, IT directors, students,
or anyone that needs to know more about firewalls. |
Microsoft Windows 2000 TCP/IP Protocols and Services Technical Reference
by
Thomas Lee, Joseph Davies, and Laura Robinson
This reference makes a great starting point for those who have learned
the basics of TCP/IP and want to learn more. I am pleased to call two of
the authors good friends and I am glad that they have taken their
in-depth knowledge on this topic and put it down in to words. |
TCP/IP Network Administration (3rd Edition) by Craig Hunt
This book covers much of what you need to know on a day
to day basis to administer a TCP/IP network including information about servers and network management.
I have had the distinct pleasure of meeting Craig on several occasions and I always
come away very impressed at his expansive knowledge of TCP/IP and internetworking. |
TCP/IP for Dummies (3th Edition)by Candace Leiden, Marshall Wilensky and
John Landry
Hey, everyone has to start somewhere, right? This is a great starting place. Like all the dummies books,
this one is friendly to read and written so that it is easy to follow. Good
examples and a good pace. If you are new to TCP/IP, this is first place you should start.
