The one problem I had with this book was the fact that not only was it OLD, but it covers only NT V3.5, not even a mention of NT4. I was not interested in DOS or W95

The info was ok quality-wise, but not anywhere NEAR current.

I put it on the shelf after a quick perusal.

Among the various types of Technical books, I would term this one a 'walkthrough'. Rather than approach the subject in an organized theoretical fashion (like his other book, Windows Nt Tcp/Ip Network Administration), the author leads you step by step through using TCP/IP in a variety of platforms, incl. DOS, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95 and NT.

The author doesn't hand hold you through the process. (This is not a book with full-page screen prints and 14pt font text.) If you are good at configuring PCs and/or have some experience either using or setting up a network, this book will be a great help.

The book gets a 4 for material, less 1 for its being dated.

This book is little dated. But the conepts of TCP/IP on PC are not changed. This version includes DOS TCP/IP. After windows 95, PC is good with TCP/IP.

I wrote a Microsoft Exchange book 12 years ago.
It is a little difficult to tuning of TCP/IP on Windows 95.
This book might be helpful such time.
After I wrote the book, I bought this book. Ah!
