5.0 out of 5 stars
For implementation, support, administration... the best, March 9, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: IP Solutions for Windows 2000 (Paperback)
Compared to the author's Cisco book, this is by far his best book. Beautifully written, easy to understand and nicely illustrated, you will learn an a lot about Microsoft's implementation of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in the Windows 2000 environment.
Seven hundred pages provide an overview the TCP/IP architecture and Internet standards, then guides you through TCP/IP installation and configuration. Additional lessons cover IP addressing and routing, subnetting, and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Explains the Windows Internet Name Service (WINS), domain functions, name resolution and implementation of the Domain Name System (DNS). Discusses connectivity issues in heterogeneous environments. Reviews guidelines and introduces IP network troubleshooting.
The author really did his homework in comparing normal TCP/IP functionality versus what Microsoft's think TCP/IP should function as. Throughout the book, you will find "Author's Note" pointing out these differences.
