despite the obvious grammar error, sentence 2 on page 1 of the intro, this book got me a 966/1000 on the tcp/ip exam. it is clearly written, and very comprehensible with interactive review sessions. TCP/IP was a grand riddle to me, now I know it better than my wife ... well, no!

Buy this book and read it from cover to cover. Get the Transcenders exams and test your knowledge. When you can pass the Transcenders you can pass the Microsoft exam. This book in conjunction with Transcenders contains all you need to know, both to pass the exam and to get a good grounding in what you need in the real world once you get certified.

this book surprisingly covers most, if not all the stuff for the exam, but the author's way of presentation could be rather confusing. some terms were introduced without definitions, and you could end up going back and forth in order to get what the guys are saying. overall, it's a great book, but it needs to be re-written to make it easier to follow. but for this, it deserves five stars.

Rob Scrimger is one of those very, very, few writers in the technology industry who actually knows how to use TCP/IP in a real, production situation. His comprehension of the ins and outs is total and, frankly, I've learned more from Rob Scrimger's approach to TCP/IP than from any other text book. This is one of the best investments that a new MCP or MCSE candidate can make in a book.

As with most TCP/IP books if you don't quite understand how the author is trying to convey a particuar idea (example subnet tables), then be prepaired to back this book up with some other TCP/IP study aids, such as Transcenders.

This book had quite a few typos - they drove me nuts. On the upside, the typos kind of forced me to really know my stuff. Besides, New Riders has a web site you can visit to get the correct and updated answers.

You will still need to search the net for additional info on how to build a subnet table by memory - not included with this TCP/IP book.

This is quite simply the best book available for the IP Exam (70-059). I used this with some Cisco material and this combination (with the Transcenders of course) proved to be very effective. Buy it.

It did not really like Windows NT server 4.0 certified administrators resourece edition by heywood. But I wanted to get a really good background in TCP/IP so I bought this one thinking oh boy let me get the no doze. Surprisingly though it is not a tough a read as thought that it would be (I am sure Mr. scrimger had a lot to do with it) and as expected from heywood it was very thorough. I would defineatly recommend this book if you are preparing for the exam and more over if you want a solid understanding of networking with MS TCP/IP. One thing I ain't is tcp/ip for dummies.

I thought this book was exceptionally informative and precise, but it lacked good grammar. It seems like the author tried too hard to get his point across. All in all it was a very good book.

I found Networking with TCP/IP to be a comprehensive text to prepare for the Microsoft TCP/IP exam. The information about subnetting was a little sketchy, no tips for constructing subnetting tables were included. The coverage of RAS and PPTP was also very general. The text did provide an adequate course of study to allow me to pass the exam!

This book really covers it all. It includes thorough discussion on MS networking (SMB), then how TCP/IP fits in. The information goes well beyond the scope of the exam into real-world use. You could probably use this book to replace most associated manuals. Every service that NT server offers, including IIS (which is NOT covered in the MS training kit), is not only explained, but implementation as well as 'hindsight' tips are given. The included practice tests are mediocre, though, and I found a few errors in the text examples. But I scored well on the exam...
