[dundee] "That" Network Book

[Robert Ladyman]

For those of you that I have wittered to about what I consider the best book 
for learning about TCP/IP (inculding how to build a shadow network underneath 
an existing one*, using tcpdump, ngrep and ethereal/wireshark). It includes 
examples for Windows and Linux along with how to set up "labs" (test 
environments):-


MANSFIELD, Niall
Practical TCP/IP - Designing, using and troubleshooting TCP/IP networks on 
Linux and Windows

Addison-Wesley
ISBN 0 201 75078 3

...and Yes, it does draw "Internet" in a cloud, but I forgive it utterly. My 
apologies if this is already a course-book for some of you.


* or "Multiple networks on the same local wire" if you want to be more 
professional - this allows you to build a test network without actually having 
to build one. Anything beats pulling cable.

I'm thinking of donating a new copy to the Society, for them to award to a 
member somehow (best talk from a new speaker?)...
