This complete guide to setting up and running a TCP/IP network is essential for network administrators, and invaluable for users of home systems that access the Internet. The book starts with the fundamentals -- what protocols do and how they work, how addresses and routing are used to move data through the network, how to set up your network connection -- and then covers, in detail, everything you need to know to exchange information via the Internet.
Included are discussions on advanced routing protocols (RIPv2, OSPF, and BGP) and the gated software package that implements them, a tutorial on configuring important network services -- including DNS, Apache, sendmail, Samba, PPP, and DHCP -- as well as expanded chapters on troubleshooting and security. TCP/IP Network Administration is also a command and syntax reference for important packages such as gated, pppd, named, dhcpd, and sendmail.
With coverage that includes Linux, Solaris, BSD, and System V TCP/IP implementations, the third edition contains:
This new edition includes ways of configuring Samba to provide file and print sharing on networks that integrate Unix and Windows, and a new chapter is dedicated to the important task of configuring the Apache web server. Coverage of network security now includes details on OpenSSH, stunnel, gpg, iptables, and the access control mechanism in xinetd. Plus, the book offers updated information about DNS, including details on BIND 8 and BIND 9, the role of classless IP addressing and network prefixes, and the changing role of registrars.
Without a doubt, TCP/IP Network Administration, 3rd Edition is a must-have for all network administrators and anyone who deals with a network that transmits data over the Internet.

Answers all those "Hmmm" questions,
By David L Shepherd (Birmingham, West Midlands United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: TCP/IP Network Administration (Paperback)
I thought I had a good understanding of TCP/IP, but with the need to grasp Mail Services and SSH, I started to get lost.This book helped me no end. I read it through cover to cover and it gave me a much better understanding of not only TCP/IP but some of the more popular services that run over it. It covers basic TCP/IP methodology (including the dreaded ISO seven layer model), through subnet masking and routing as well as basic DNS, Sendmail and Apache configuration. I now feel I can go back and read the Bat (Sendmail) and Grasshoppers (DNS & BIND) books and get a lot more out of them. This book looks like it will fit firmly in among the numerous other O'Reilly books on my desk. I'm thinking - do O'Reilly offer a discount if I buy all of there books ;-) I would recommend this book to people who think they know enough to get by, and those just entering into the world of TCP/IP.

Not much to say,
This review is from: TCP/IP Network Administration (Paperback)
I like the O'Reilly series and how they present information.This is one of the first O'Reilly books I bought while working in an ISP and Web Hosting company and it became a cherished reference though my copy is older and their are bound to be revisions I can't recommend this enough for anyone who works with TCP/IP networks on any level.

A must for any network administrator,
By A Customer
This review is from: TCP/IP Network Administration (Paperback)
In the first chapters this book crams in a lot of background info which makes you go "Ahh! So thats why....". The following chapters are the most clearly explained guide to 'actually doing it'. Well done the author, and all involved with the project.
