This review is from: Complete Guide to Networking (Paperback)
This book, while explaining in almost graphic detail the complexities of networking, is not for the novice. For the intermediate level user, who wants to know all the ins and outs of networking, the minutia, it should answer any questions you might have.

This review is from: Complete Guide to Networking (Paperback)
David Kearns, the actual author of this hound, has produced another of his yawners. He's pointlessly snide and irritating - viz, his insistence on "octet" where anyone else would call eight bits a "byte"- but at least he's incomplete: he essentially ignores Linux, gives the cold-shoulder to Unix, and is flat wrong in his limited knowledge of MacOS. This falls somewhat short of most definitions of "Complete", especially with the rapid growth of Linux as a low-cost network server alternative. If you're new to networking, you may get the impression this book is over your head. It isn't. It is incomplete, irritating, and wrong. Keep looking.
