A little out of date . . ........2005-09-30

But if you are coming in to networking not knowing anyhting, it can help.

THIS TUTORIAL REALLY DELIVERS.......2005-03-27

After reading this tutorial, you will learn every thing you need to know about the basics of networking. Author Steve Steinke has done an excellent job of helping you to explore proper punch-down procedures; understand the different types of cabling used in networks; learn how to configure Windows for a network; discover LANs, MANs, and WANs; identify the various types of networks; explore network cabling; discover typologies used in networking; examine types of network operating systems; discover network protocols and how they "talk" to each other; define ethernet and explore how it uses a system known as CSMA/CD; identify seven layers of communication within a network; and, examine smart modems, IDSNs, DSLs, and cable modems; discover bridges, routers, and switches. In addition, the author will lead you through hands-on activities such as: setting up a peer-to-peer network; building a CAT5 cable; and testing a CAT5 cable with a cable tester.

For example, the author begins by with a thorough discussion of network protocols. Next, he goes on to explain the physical layer protocol by touching on encoding, modulation and the physical layer. Then, the author covers data-link protocols by looking at all of the topologies in detail. Next, the author discusses network and transport layer protocols which includes the TCP/IP protocol suite. Then, Steinke examines application layer protocols and how ISPs provide Internet and WWW services. Next, Steinke covers all types of network hardware like cabling fiber optics and wireless LANs. This is followed by a general discussion of network software. Then, the author explains the concept of internetworking. Network and Systems management are covered next. Finally, Steinke concludes with an outstanding detailed examination of network security and backup systems.

Not as good as I thought.......2003-06-15

The book covers a LOT of topics but it assumes too much. Even on Chapter 1 the author discusses topics that I didnt know about. Name of the book is "Network Tutorial"; bad name. I would call it Networks Unleashed. It also seems a bit outdated to me, the latest edition was released in Jan/2003, yet there is too much talk about Windows 3.1, OS/2 and NT. Linux and XP are rarely mentioned. I dont recommend it, its good but not worth the price tag.

A "user friendly" introduction and reference.......2003-04-13

Now in an updated and expanded fifth edition, Network Tutorial: A Complete Introduction To Networks by Steven Steinke (with the assistance of the editors of "Network Magazine") is a "user friendly" introduction and reference to network technology, written especially for managers and executives seeking to update their knowledge on the latest challenges of evolving network infrastructures. Individual chapters cogently address such topics as physical layer protocols, data-link protocols, network hardware and software, security and backup systems, and much, much more in this involved and extensive resource filled with diagrams and extensive description.

Complete Guide!.......2000-09-27

Excellent for newcomers or if u want to get up to date in networking technologies. Is a good comprehensive guide that Starts with the basic precepts of networks, the book explores protocols, hardware and software components, and the unique jargon of networking. Concepts are explained clearly and simply, without assuming an extensive understanding of network internals. The glossary provides a quick reference for unfamiliar terms. Among the many topics new to this fourth edition are: wireless networks, cable modem systems, virtual private networks, IP security, asset management, and XML. Other key subjects include improving network performance, anytime/anywhere access, and interoperability.
