This review is from: Intranet Working (Paperback)

I read this book when it first came out in the beginning of '96. It goes into great detail about network theory, tcpip, and unix and NT networking, then goes into hands on explanations of setting up a web server, ftp server, and more, though most of it is catered towards unix. This is not a book for beginners, or for the faint at heart. It goes to the heart of the subject and gets technical very quickly, but the author does an excellent job of explaining things clearly and concisely. It's not the right book for someone who just wants to set up some servers on a corporate lan, especially if it's NT, but for those looking for the theory and inner workings of different protocols, and how these work with various internet services primarily on unix boxes, this could be an excellent reference!
