Book Overview

This book gives IT professionals the in-depth technical information they need to support TCP/IP on Windows 2000. The book steps though the TCP/IP protocols layer by layer, it weaves theory with fact to present a solid picture of TCP/IP protocols and the related network services running on Windows 2000. 

It’s the must-have reference for anyone who works with TCP/IP on a Windows 2000 platform.

• Explains the TCP/IP protocols by providing deep, layer-by-layer coverage in the OSI model specifically for Windows 2000.
• Weaves theory with facts to present a solid picture of TCP/IP protocols and services for a broad variety of network administrators
• We provide a set of network traces on CD that you can examine at your leisure and in addition the Companion CD also includes a full set of RFCs (as of mid Nov 99) and IETF drafts (as of late September 1999).
