TCP/IP for Dummies

by Candace Leiden, Marshall Wilensky

Since the first edition of TCP/IP For Dummies, Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol has grown even more important. Now, TCP/IP is not only the underlying networking protocol for the whole worldwide Internet, but it's also the protocol that ties together countless local and wide-area networks (LANs and WANs). TCP/IP For Dummies, 2nd Edition, gets you up to speed with TCP/IP basics as well as all the latest innovations, covering such topics as Understanding the relationship between TCP/IP and the Internet, and between the Internet and the World Wide Web Discovering how the client/server model functions as the foundation of TCP/IP Using TCP/IP not just with UNIX, but also with Windows, the Mac OS, Novell, and other operating systems and networking programs Finding out what intranets and extranets are and deciding whether you need one Setting up security software and policies Getting your network ready for the next generation of TCP/IP Grasping how modems, bridges, routers, and other networking devices handle TCP/IP Best of all, thanks to TCP/IP For Dummies, 2nd Edition, you'll be able to see through the haze of acronyms and jargon so that you can get right to work setting up or modifying your own TCP/IP network (or knowledgeably hiring a contractor to do the nuts-and-bolts work).

I read this for one of my classes.
If you want to understand what is the internet; what is emai; what are domains; what is actually
the world wide web; go ahead and read this book.
I enjoyed it and I use it as reference.

Only for techno geeks, not for your everyday person.

When I did my tcp/ip exam this was the supplementary book I used whenever I got stuck with the main book. I'm glad to say I passed the exam.
