Windows Nt Tcp/Ip (New Rider's Professional Series)

A comprehensive resource demystifies the intricacies of Microsoft TCP/IP by providing interactive tutorials and basic examples and covers TCP/IP architecture, advanced installation and configuration issues, routing, DHCP Management, and WINS/DNS Name Resolution. Original. (Advanced).

As you may gather from the title, Windows NT TCP/IP turns with laser-beam intensity to all facets of the Internet's lingua franca--TCP/IP--and how it operates within a Windows networking environment. For those already well versed in the wild world of Windows, this volume may be overkill, but for those new to TCP/IP as manifested within the Windows embrace, it's the answer to a prayer. To be truthful, even the NT expert can make use of this easy-to-follow and thorough reference guide, as it includes chapters on advanced functionality (such as configuring TCP/IP using Perl scripting and the Windows NT registry).

Penned by Dr. Karanjit S. Siyan (one of the original architects of the TCP/IP protocol), Windows NT TCP/IP covers each TCP/IP networking base while not shying away from detail. These TCP/IP-related topics--as well as the Windows NT architecture itself--are covered quite granularly. Also handy is the market and historical context Dr. Siyan provides for various protocols and technologies, which helps to explain the success of a relative antique like NetBEUI. Windows NT TCP/IP holds the hallmark of any reference book worth its salt; the volume is jam-packed with useful diagrams, charts, tables, and specific commands. Another winner from New Riders, Windows NT TCP/IP offers something for everyone interested in Windows NT networking. --Sarah L. Roberts-Witt
