Book Reviews of TCP/IP for Dummies, Fifth Edition

Book Review: A Great intro to the subject
Summary: 5 Stars

It truly is dummied down, and don't rely on it if you really want to configure telnet in a linux environment, but for basics it's excellent.

Summary of TCP/IP for Dummies, Fifth Edition

TCP/IP For Dummies, 5th Edition, is both an introduction to the basics and a reference to help you use TCP/IP applications and tools on all kinds of computers connected to networks. Here are some of the many subjects that this book covers:

• Uncovering the relationships among TCP/IP, the Net, and the Web
• Exploring client/server and how it is the foundation of TCP/IP
• Installing and configuring TCP/IP and its applications on clients and servers
• Understanding intranets, extranets, and virtual private networks (VPNs)
• Building and enforcing security
• Boldly going to the next generation: IPv6

If you?re concerned about the security of your data ? and who isn?t? ? don?t miss the practical security tips in this book, including a Quick Start Security Guide. You can read about advanced security topics, including the security protocols that are part of TCP/IP. You also find out how to use encryption, authentication, digital certificates, and signatures. And if you?re interested in e-commerce, walk through a secure Internet credit card transaction.

The book continues with tutorials on SMTP--the standard mail protocol of the Net--and other bedrock protocols such as FTP, Telnet, and DNS in easy-to-understand language that demystifies the oodles of acronyms. Information follows on how IP addresses, IPv6, dial-up networking, and thin clients work.

In the Part of Tens section--a hallmark of the Dummies series--the authors go wild with lists such as Ten Reasons to use TCP/IP, Ten Frequently Asked Questions about TCP/IP, and Ten RFCs Worth Tasting. If you want to leave the safe world of your browser to go down the technical route, TCP/IP for Dummies offers an easy read and an informative presentation. --Stephen W. Plain
