Customer Reviews

Lacks the detail to make it the "go to" guide.

This is a good reference for those looking for a "how to" guide on basic networking. If you want to become a "guru", this book is not for you.

Great book for unix gurus dealing with newtorks

Lots of deatils and lots of the technical info that you actuallu use at work.

Excellent reference for beginners to intermediate users

This is an excellent reference for beginners through intermediate level, the information is presented in a logical progression in clear, concise language. A BIG plus is that all pertinant RFCs are referenced, so the reader can go directly to the source for in depth explanations on a particular topic. All the fundamentals are covered (Ethernet, TCP/IP, NIS, NFS). I bought this book several years ago when I first began exploring the UNIX network environment, and I still refer to it often as an intermediate level user. If you are a beginner and are curious about the workings of the UNIX networking environment, then you'll love this book!

If it were a song, I'd give it a Grammy!!!

As an intermediate to accomplished unix user, I found this book to be by far the best book on unix networking. Newcomers to networking will discover a pearl of great price. The author is truly an expert in the subject matter, and presents it in a clear and understandable fashion. The diagrams in the earlier chapters are priceless in solidifying understanding of TCP/IP stack, other protocols, and how they function in a network. Having built this foundation, the author adds to it in the 2nd half of the book by discussing networking in a Unix environment. He does a superb job (down to which files you need to configure, and how) on implementing DNS, NIS, NFS, and Remote Utiliies. This book is a constant reference and teaching source for me. Execellent book, well written, It's music to my ears, thus I gave it a GRAMMY!
