It took me only 10 minutes of thumbing through the book in the shop before I decided to buy it. I have just read it cover-to-cover and can categorically state that it covers its subject matter superbly. Although it is a hefty 1000-page tome, the text is lucid and written in a no-nonsense style. It gets right down to business with numerous (and accurate) tables, diagrams and screen shots. This book will teach you everything you need to know about troubleshooting TCP/IP. If you are thinking of buying such a book, you can't go wrong with this one. Congratulations to the authors and Novell Press.

This book is exactly what I was looking for concerning troubleshooting TCP/IP with a network analyzer. This book starts with the level 1 troubleshooting and goes from there. The book not only covers general TCP/IP issues, but also thuroughly covers vendor implementations, including Novell, Microsoft and Unix specific issues.

I've had the book only three days, and have already used it to solve a couple of network analysis problems. The content is most useful.

The book is well thought out, and well organized. I particularly appreciate the packet by packet explanations and real world troubleshooting examples. The extensive appendixes are a wonderful addition.

If you could only buy one book for TCP/IP network analysis, I'd get this one.

Just as Zahid was, I was impressed within 10 minutes while in the bookstore. (I bought the book while in the bookstore)

First, forget any thoughts about a Novell/Netware focus, this is a book about TCP/IP, and it includes some chapters about Microsoft's and Novell's implementations of TCP/IP. Excellent.

The book does an outstanding job of covering the subject at the intermediate to advanced level. It is not for newbies, and it is not for geeks. IMO, "serious" students/end users/LAN administrators will find it very useful.
