Product Description
Novell wrote the book on networking with its IPX protocol. Then the Internet rewrote it with a little something called TCP/IP. Now Novell networking authority Drew Heywood has literally written the book on how network administrators like you can maintain a smoothly running internal network while taking advantage of the universality of the Internet′s TCP/IP protocol.
Novell′s Guide to TCP/IP and IntranetWare helps you make a successful transition from NetWare 3 and 4 to TCP/IP à la IntranetWare. Even if you′ve been blissfully oblivious to the nuts and bolts of protocols like IPX –– let alone TCP/IP –– you′ll soon have a solid understanding of how they work and how to configure all kinds of clients, servers, and routers.
Heywood offers practical, in–depth coverage of essential NetWare TCP/IP topics, including
- A layer–by–layer description of the TCP/IP protocol stack –– from the network access layer to the process/application layer
- Implementing TCP/IP on NetWare servers and clients
- Setting up the domain host configuration protocol
- Managing NetWare TCP/IP and name services
- Bridging between NetWare and UNIX
- Creating and administering FTP and World Wide Web servers
Plus, the bonus CD–ROM included with
