Novell's Guide to TCP/IP and Intranetware [With CDROM]

By Drew Heywood

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 a 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 Novell's Guide to TCP/IP and IntranetWare features exclusive software from Novell: The IntranetWare Client Suite for Windows NT, Windows 95, DOS/Win 3.x, OS/2, and Mac OS. You also get Novell Application Launcher 1.1 and IntranetWare Wallpaper.

Good book on TCP/IP but...

If you're looking for a book to study for the Novell 605 exam, this is a good book for getting started, but it comes up a little shy in errors and troubleshooting, good explanations of TCP utilities (telenet, etc.), and the like. But overall and excellent book.

The most concise TCP/IP you'll find.

If you want or need to learn the basics of TCP/IP, this is the book for you. Perfect for preparing for the Novell TCP/IP exam!! Unlike other study guides of its kind, Mr. Heywood doesn't try to be cute. No cakes get baked and nobody takes a walk down protocol lane. Clear and to-the-point explanation of everything you need to pass your exam!
