This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself TCP/IP Networking in 21 Days (Paperback)

This book has too much depth for an beginner in networking. But for someone like me who took couple courses on Microsoft network, it fills in a lot of knowledge gaps on TCP/IP.

For example, it done a great job on explaining BOOTP & DHCP. It even includes the BOOTP Message format, which I couldn't find it in most TCP/IP books.
