Windows NT TCP/IP Network Administration Review,  June 13 2000

I bought this book after having gone through MOC688, the Microsoft Official Curriculm course for TCP/IP.

The MOC was badly written to say the least. I found many areas of it to be vague. This book from O'Reilly's was like the sun buring through the fog.

I found confusing aspects of DHCP and DNS to be explained in much greater detail than what was put out by Microsoft.

I highly recommend this book!

An excellent reference text for the NT administrator. The DHCP coverage is particularly thorough. Keep it up !!!

I would love upcoming Internet Core Protocols:Definitive Guide to supplement what I already have, maybe If O'Reilly could also make it easier for people in Zimbabwe to get their books-I had to wait for 12 weeks to get Windows NT TCP/IP Network Administration !

Excellent book on TCP/IP!!!

I have read many books on TCP/IP by New Riders and even Microsoft. The closest one is the Microsoft Windows 2000 server resource kit documents!!!

Excellent job! Can't say enought about how PLEASED I am with the content and the presentation in this book!

I hope they would come up with the 2nd edition and cover the Windows 2000 TCP/IP as well!!! Very soon! I can't hardly wait!

Great Job!

Media reviews "Windows NT TCP/IP Network Administration helps demystify the aspects of Windows NT that relate to TCP/IP. Craig Hunt wrote the standard book on TCP/IP under Unix--TCP/IP Network Administration --and he and Robert Thompson have applied their skills with equal aplomb to Windows NT 4 Even experienced administrators will be able to learn something from the tons of tips found here." --David Wall, amazon.com

Windows NT TCP/IP Network Administration "If you find yourself using or administering a network with Windows NT clients and servers, but don't understand TCP/IP and all that it entails, this book will teach you.The strengths of Windows NT TCP/IP Network Administration are plenty. Information is presented clearly and accurately and arranged logically and chronologically, as one would set up a network. The tutorials are comprehensive, relying more on thorough written explanation than strategic screenshots. The section on additional resources points straight to the authoritative sources, such as RFCs. The Appendixes go into a great deal of detail that may never apply--but would be useful and handy in some cases. Clearly, this book will be useful even after the network is in operation."-chromatic, slashdot.com, June 2000

"a comprehensive, detailed reference full of real world experience and practical advice." --AELeen Frisch, SunExpert Magazine, November 1998
