Guide Review - "TCP/IP Clearly Explained" by Pete Loshin
Learning about TCP/IP and similar technical topics can seem intimidating at first. The author offers this sensible caution in his introduction: "If you are entirely new to networking, don't expect to 'get it' in a single reading." Clear, thorough explanations insure that all but the most advanced networkers will find this book a useful reference.
