...guides for planning, testing and deploying a W2K TCP/IP network. A great troubleshooting help when you have connectivity problems. -- W2Knews Electronic Newsletter, March 13, 2000

Product Description

TCP/IP is a set of proposals developed to allow cooperating computers to share resources across a network. Some of the largest networks today are built on the TPC/IP protocol suite. Understanding how TCP/IP is "supposed" to work is not enough for today's network managers. In this book, readers will learn to prevent, detect, troubleshoot and correct TCP/IP network problems. By using products such as distributed sniffers, field metering tools and protocol analyses, network managers can learn a lot about what is going on in (or wrong in) an internetwork and be able to troubleshoot a live TPC/IP network. This book focuses specifically on identifying problem areas, including identifying and correcting protocol errors, DNS route problems, application faults and slow response times.

Syngress have sold over 700,000 Microsoft and Cisco certification guides in the last two years. Most of the administrators buying these will be interested in this book.



* TPC/IP is a very popular topic; readers will welcome a guide to troubleshooting and repairing problems
* Tackles monitoring the network using protocol analyses
* Teaches effective methods of baselining and trend analysis

5.0 out of 5 stars Good to learn how to design Windows 2000 network solutions, April 22, 2000

By	Jim Lundstrum (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

This book is good. I am studying for the 70-216 and 70-221 Microsoft Exam to update my MCSE to Windows 2000 MCSE. There is no Microsoft Book now for these tests so I got this one. Not only did I really learn TCP/IP for the first time (I thought I understood TCP/IP and how it worked before), but I know now how so different Windows 2000 TCP/IP is from Windows NT TCP/IP. They are not the same! Only book I ever read that showed me how to design WINS and DNS solutions in real world. MSPRESS books did not show me that for Windows NT! This is a good book and I liked it a lot.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Coverage of Win2k Net Services, August 4, 2000

By	Kevin Harrigan (Irving) - See all my reviews

This book is fresh air to someone like myself who has read at least a dozen Windows 2000 books. I get the impression that a lot of the Windows 2000 books were written by people who write books and don't work with the technology. This book doesn't fall into that class. It was great to read this book, because it renewed my faith that a tech book could be written in a way that doesn't put me to sleep.

They cover Windows 2000 TCP/IP from top to bottom. WINS, DNS, DHCP, RRAS, IIS, routing and network devices. Its all there, and its filled with little known factoids that makes me want to keep reading and have another "aha!" experience.

This book also was the major reason I passed the Microsoft 216 exam so easily. Although I didn't buy it to pass the exam, they seem to cover all the material that the exam covered. A nice bonus. I wish they made the book longer, because I'm sure they could have said a lot more that I would like to read about.

This book isn't for beginners, but neither is Windows 2000. I think once the reader is ready to manage Windows 2000, they'll be ready to get the most out of this exceptional book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Written by native english speakers!, May 21, 2000

By A Customer

I can't believe they wrote a book about TCP/IP in english! I got the MCSE in NT 4 and studyed TCP/IP and understood it as well I as could with the study guides out there. Then I got a job in the business, and realized I had a lot to learn. I needed more advanced knowledge, but the books all sound like they were written by martians or something!

A friend of mine told me about this book because he knew the authors. I bought it and I'm glad to say its the best TCP/IP book out there. No lie. I actually think I understand some of the hard stuff now. I couldn't say that after reading some of those other books.

Get this book if you want to learn about how to fix your network, without having to run to the networking dictionary to define every other term.
