From the Inside Flap

"I was very impressed. I am one of the few people who has been working with TCP/IP for nearly 15 years, and I was amazed at both the depth of the discussion and the clarity of the presentation.

"Network administrators who need to keep up with Microsoft's rush to achieve the Windows.net vision can use this book both as a tutorial and as a reference on Microsoft's TCP/IP implementation. Dr. Siyan's many years of experience with both Microsoft operating systems and IETF standard TCP/IP are evident as he pulls the two together into a single, seamless reference."

-Jim Ryan, MCSE, President, Ninjah Blue Networks

"This is one of the finest TCP/IP references I have been privileged to read. It does a exceptional job of giving comprehensive and up-to-date coverage in a concise and easy-to-understand writing style. The author has engineered this book for easy location and mastery of each topic: each chapter stands independently from others so that you can research a topic quickly without having to read the preceding chapters. In addition, the in depth discussions about topics like diagnostic tools for Microsoft networks, CP/IP configuration, and TCP/IP protocols infrastructure make this book an invaluable reference for network administrators and computer programmers."

-Matthew Clower, Computer Programmer

"Windows 2000 TCP/IP will undoubtedly assist any computer professional in understanding TCP/IP as a whole and how it relates to specific operating systems and other software. This well-written book is suited both for the seasoned professional and the beginner/intermediate reader. Windows 2000 TCP/IP does an excellent job in breaking down difficult topics, goes into detail on a wide variety of key administration issues, and provides advice to troubleshooting a number of internetworking issues. This text will be an invaluable reference for IT professional who wishes to understand the inner workings of TCP/IP and how it works in a variety of environments."

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent TCP/IP Instruction and reference, August 27, 2000

By	Matthew Clower (Gilroy, Ca) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had the pleasure of writing a review for the inside flap of this book, and would like to add to it here.

TCP/IP is an excellent book for anyone looking to learn TCP/IP as it is integrated and expanded upon for Windows 2000. It also servers as an excellent piece of reference material; everything is layed out in a manner in which information can be found quickly. This book covers all of the major topics dealing with TCP/IP from the actual architecture of TCP/IP to how it is implimented in certain types of networks, and more. In addition to the index where you can find instances of any topic that is covered in the book, every chapter is very well named and very effectively describes the contents of the chapter. In fact, listing the chapters would even suffice as an overview of what you can learn from the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Karinjit Siyan does it again., December 14, 2001

By	Bedevere E Curry (Edison, NJ USA) - See all my reviews

It doesn't get any better than this book. I'm comparing this with the other books such as Sybex and Osborne. Mr. Siyan can make any complicated topic understandable. I love the traces section, SNMP, IPSEC, and DNS. I also recommend Mark Minasi. The 2 top W2K masters are Karinjit Siyan and Mark Minasi. You have to get this book if you want to get a technical advantage over the average system engineers.

Very useful indepth explanation of TCP/IP and how it works with Windows 2000. Chapter on TCP/IP implementation details explains how it has been implemented on Windows 2000 and I like the protocol traces. Lots of info on TCP/IP registry parameters.
