2.0 out of 5 stars No more than introduction, April 1, 1999

By A Customer

Do not buy this book if you are familiar with TCP/IP foundations or consider yourself any smart. It contains a lot of trivial diagrams and what can be explained in just a sentence often occupies a dozen pages. This makes the book very boring to read and impossible to use as a reference. It also does not cover anything except foundations, although the table of content looks very impressive.

4.0 out of 5 stars good but...., February 18, 1999

By A Customer

I have just finished reading the book and found it sound and a good starting place for more advanced study.However it has faults that are quite annoying!

1.There are too many diagrams that are suppose to illustrate points that are perfectly clear in the text.

2.A LOT of misprints and typos.This actually helped me learn in a perverse way because I was forced to figure things out on my own.But it also had a cost in time.

3.No bibliography.

4.No glossary!

5.No answers to any of the exercises.This is quite helpful in self study.

Enough whining! Basically I liked the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Teacher, February 28, 2002

By	James E. Bowers (Dulles, VA United States) - See all my reviews

I took Karanjit's class at Learning Tree and I have to say no one has been able to teach me subnetting like that before. His book is almost straight out of his class with much more detail. I would strongly suggest taking his class, but if you are unable, and are looking to get a solid understanding of TCP/IP, read this book. His credentials are impeccable, and his teaching style is, in my opinion, one of the best. I have taken some MCSE classes, and some other Internet classes, and have yet to learn as much from someone as I did from him.
