TCP/IP for Dummies is for anyone who wants to explore what really makes the Web tick. In a lighthearted style, the authors explain the basics of TCP/IP and other technologies. They discuss what TCP/IP can do in the context of various types of networks such as LANs and WANs and briefly introduce the reader to concepts such as firewalls and client/server applications.

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

Book Description
If you have anything at all to do with a computer network, sooner or later you're going to come face to face with TCP/IP, the system of protocols that makes the Internet work and that LANs, WANs, and intranets need to follow for Internet connectivity. In TCP/IP For Dummies, authors Marshall Wilensky and Candace Leiden reveal the meanings behind all the acronyms and jargon in order to help you set up or modify your network, make decisions regarding security and firewalls, and even understand how all-important hardware devices (such as modems, bridges, and routers) work with TCP/IP. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
