Novell's Guide to TCP/IP and IntranetWare [Paperback]

Drew Heywood (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 22, 1997 | ISBN-10: 0764545329 | ISBN-13: 978-0764545320

Novell wrote the book on networking with its IPX protocol. Then the Internet rewrote it with a little something called TCP/IP. Now Novell networking authority Drew Heywood has literally written the book on how network administrators like you can maintain a smoothly running internal network while taking advantage of the universality of the Internet's TCP/IP protocol.

Novell's Guide to TCP/IP and IntranetWare helps you make a successful transition from NetWare 3 and 4 to TCP/IP ? la IntranetWare. Even if you've been blissfully oblivious to the nuts and bolts of protocols like IPX -- let alone TCP/IP -- you'll soon have a solid understanding of how they work and how to configure all kinds of clients, servers, and routers.

Heywood offers practical, in-depth coverage of essential NetWare TCP/IP topics, including
* A layer-by-layer description of the TCP/IP protocol stack -- from the network access layer to the process/application layer
* Implementing TCP/IP on NetWare servers and clients
* Setting up the domain host configuration protocol
* Managing NetWare TCP/IP and name services
* Bridging between NetWare and UNIX
* Creating and administering FTP and World Wide Web servers
Plus, the bonus CD-ROM included with Novell's Guide to TCP/IP and IntranetWare features exclusive software from Novell: The IntranetWare Client Suite for Windows NT, Windows 95, DOS/Win 3.x, OS/2, and Mac OS. You also get Novell Application Launcher 1.1 and IntranetWare Wallpaper.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book on TCP/IP but..., January 28, 1999

This review is from: Novell's Guide to TCP/IP and IntranetWare (Paperback)

If you're looking for a book to study for the Novell 605 exam, this is a good book for getting started, but it comes up a little shy in errors and troubleshooting, good explanations of TCP utilities (telenet, etc.), and the like. But overall and excellent book.
