Customer comments on this selection.
 Are you into the details?
This is a 5 star book because it takes you down to the lowest level of detail without losing you. This is primarily due to the book's excellent organization where each chapter builds on the previous ones. Although it calls itself a reference, it's an excellent sequential read to learn what TCP/IP is about under the covers on Windows Server 2003.
 The devil in the detail
I'd like to say that this is a good book for the general reader who wants a broad overview of networking protocols. pBut nobody buys a book like this for browsing and unfortunately it falls short when it comes to the nitty gritty details that anone working with these protocols needs.brWhat is the point of providing extra detail if these details prove to be misleading or in some cases even contradictory?pI know this looks like a frothing rant so I guess I need an example: brpage 389 in table 16.1 the DHCP Broadcast bit in the flags entry must be set if the client does not have an IP address.br Then for the rest of the chapter all examples show the bit unset.brI know its pedantic but these books are bought for detail like this. pSo in conclusion it may look good on the shelf but cannot be trusted for everyday use.
Great TCP/IP book
As an Microsoft MVP, Microsoft presented this book to me and I've read it carefully, I found it's a great book of TCP/IP protocols in Windows Server 2003. If you want to be a professional of Windows Server 2003 TCP/IP protocols and services, buy and read this book, it's great really.
Excellent reference
I find myself going to this book more and more. A great TCP/IP reference.
Boring and Important
Are TCP/IP protocols and services fun topics? No. This is not a "fun" book. But, if you need to know how an IP protocol works, this is a great source. Davies and Lee cover the critical protocols in deeply and understandabley.
