I picked up a copy of The Home Networking Bible.  Part of the usually
very good 'Bible' series of publications.  I can only say to anyone
thinking of getting it don't bother.  It's so damned Microsoft focused
it's unbelievable.  The author would have you think M$ invented the
concept of networking.  The references to Linux and Unix are usually
along the lines of run a Google search....yeah, like that's why I
bought this book.  I do have a pretty good photocopied course work
manual though.  It's a bit out of date now as I got it copied about 6
years ago but it does give a good basic foundation into the principles
of TCP/IP.  No I don't know what course it was other than it being an
industry standard one...I can't find the blasted thing at the moment
:-)
