5.0 out of 5 stars If I could have only 1 TCP/IP book -- THIS WOULD BE IT!!
This is the best SINGLE source of TCP/IP info. This text covers all important aspects of TCP/IP and does not skimp on detail.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not for the beginners
When I bought this book two years ago, I had no knowledge of TCP/IP networking. Some of the topics particularly subnetting, were not well explained and confusing. Now that I know subnetting quite well, I think the author made it too complex for such an easy subject. This book is more for engineers who deals with product development such as routers, switches, etc. Think...

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the book to buy!, March 23, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Hands-On TCP/IP (Paperback)
Whether you know nothing, or everything about TCP/IP, this is the best book. If you have no or a very basic knowledge of TCP/IP, this book will explain everything in great detail from scratch. If you consider yourself an expert, this book is still a great reference. I have gone back to this book over and over again for reference material. If you work with TCP/IP, this book should be considered required reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars Reference material, November 2, 2000
This review is from: Hands-On TCP/IP (Paperback)
If you're new to TCP/IP networking, look elsewhere. The material is dry and not presented in an educational material.

However, if you need a good reference to various aspects of this subject, it's pretty good. Some of the material is slightly out-of-date, but for the most part, it serves well when there's a small detail that's bugging you, or you need to just refresh your memory about something.
