Rating: Summary: this book is terrible Review: I can't understand all the glowing reviews this book is recieving, it is a VERY cursory and shallow treatment of far to much material. It's just all over the place. Please stay away from the "crab book", it sucks.If you want a good tcp/ip book, O'Reilly's "Internet Core Protocols" is a great one. This book is not very good at all.
Rating: Summary: An excellent reference book for Unix Network Adminstrator Review: I found that this is the BEST reference book available, especially with dozens of examples for configuration of various services, such as DNS, DHCP and etc. If you are going to take the examination in various Unix platform, it is definitely good investment.
Rating: Summary: Unix advanced people only Review: I got this book to learn about TCP/IP in general, but it is not for me. It for UNIX administrators as clearly marked along the top of the book which I should have seen in the preview picture. I was looking for something that explained the workings of the internet and networking for someone familiar with windows-based networking. It did have one useful chapter for me on what an IP address really is, and how packets fly through networks, and it looks good on the bookshelf in my office. So for this one chapter, and for it usefulness as a prop in my office, I give it four stars.

Rating: Summary: A wonderful intro to TCP/IP Review: I read this book because I needed to know as much as I could about what TCP/IP is, and things like email, networking, and how it all works. This book taught me everything I could want to know about TCP/IP, and was for the most part pretty easy to read. On chapter in particular gave a brief intro to Sendmail, so i went home and tried it out and it worked great! The other chapters are just as good. Of the many O'Reilly books I have read and bought, this ranks in the top 2 (the other is Running LInux). Thanks Mr. Hunt and thanks O'Reilly!!!
Rating: Summary: Explained everything I needed to know Review: I started reading this book 2 days ago and just had to come here to express my delight. The book explains all those things that you need to know to understand how TCP/IP works. It is well written with clear examples. I couldn't recommend this book more highly.
Rating: Summary: Outstanding reference for IP Review: If you only buy one book ever for IP, get this book. It covers every aspect of networking in general, and even gives details of DNS, Sendmail issus, etc. A must read.
Rating: Summary: Another excellent reference from O'Reilly. Review: If you want to understand how TCP/IP networks work, both at a practical and theoretical level, this is the book for you. It is well written and covers all practical aspects of managing a modern TCP/IP network. Definitely another O'Reilly book that should be on every network admin's shelf.
Rating: Summary: BEST TCPIP AND NETWORKING BOOK OUT THERE! Review: IF YOUR GOING TO A DESERT ISLAND TO DO TCPIP AND UNIX NETWORKING, AND CAN ONLY BRING ONE BOOK, THIS IS THE BOOK YOU BRING.
