Summary: Very badly written and hard to understand
Comment: If you already have a college degree in TCP/IP this book might be of interest, but if you are looking for a book that will be of help to a non-expert this book isn't it. The chapters are written in a very confused way. At one point you think the author is talking to a child with overly simplistic language, then at the next moment he will throw in some advanced mathamatics that will completely lose you. You end up not understanding anything about the subject that you didn't know to begin with. I highly recommend looking elsewhere for a good introduction to TCP/IP.

Summary: Well written, and well conveyed.
Comment: This is a great book with great examples that help to stamp the ideas into your head. It's great for a beginner (I had no working knowledge of TCP/IP or any of it's utilities) and can provide helpful reference for more experienced readers. Like almost all of the "Sams Teach Yourself" books, there's almost no way to read the book and grasp the material in the allotted time frame (24 hrs - and this is a smaller book) but it is definitely worth putting in the time. You'll take away alot. Joe Casad and Bob Willsey do a very good job, although I feel that on a couple of occasions they should have given the explanation of a term before using it, instead of saying "this will be discussed in a later hour". Just one small gripe. Otherwords two HANDS up for this instructional guide through the world of TCP/IP Networking.

Rating: 4
Summary: Essential Reading
Comment: This book is an excellent resource for people who have a little experience with networking or internetworking and want to begin to expand their understanding of TCP/IP. If you're like me and want to get a grasp on the basics before jumping into some serious routing / internetworking topics, you'll find this book essential reading.
