I was anxious to read this book, hoping to learn more about IP and networking in general.
Some of it hit home, but a lot of it went too far off the technology deep end.
I did like the tone of the book, as it kept some very technical things light, but overall, wouldn’t recommend it.

This book does not deliver on it’s cover title. I bought this text thinking it will help me learn the basic working details of TCP/IP. I was totally dissappionted.

This book covers most of the basic topics about TCP/IP, but does miss out on some subjects like (MIB) !? The reader if wishing to increase their knowledge base would have to read other material like “inside TCP/IP” by new riders. The reader could read the book from cover to cover and not suffer from information overload. Overall, a good book to start a difficult subject.

To say the least I was dissapointed with this book. I thought that I was going to be provided with a clear insight into TCP/IP using normal everyday terms. Good, but definitely not worth your $20. The chapter on “security” was laughable. The only interesting chapters in the entire book was the one on IP addressing, and on routing. I must admit, though, that the book does give excellent resources for learning more (no books, just free internet resources!).

Presents the overall picture in a highly entertaining way.
