For courses in Windows NT and Windows 2000 Networking.
Whether you are new to the suite of protocols called
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP),
want to understand the changes from Windows NT 4.0 to
Windows 2000, or need an up-to-date desk reference, this is
the book for you. Written to teach TCP/IP at the
intermediate level, it contains history, basics,
subnetting, Active Directory, DHCP, WINS, SNMP, tools,
utilities, challenge questions, review sections and
self-study for deeper understanding of the topics. This
book shows you how to set up, configure, use, and support
the TCP/IP suite of protocols on Windows 2000. The
operational view compliments many of the book on Windows
2000 that now assume a student is already familiar with the
new features of TCP/IP on Windows 2000.
