Negative Positive
Title: Very thorough and comprehensive guide
Review: This book covers just about every facet of tcp/ip in a comprehensive fashion. Every protocol is covered separately and well illustrated. My only criticism so far is that I still have trouble understanding subnet masks, due to this book not actually giving an example other than the default 255.255.255.0 etc. - a trap that every networking book I have read seems to fall into (although that may say more about me than the book!). Definitely worth purchasing for its authoritative feel - I'm sure you could trust it implicitly - though maybe a tad heavy-going for the beginner. Only misses out on 5 stars because I'm still confused about the point I mentioned and I might need another book to help me yet...
