As the community of administrators using Microsoft TCP/IP matures, your need for reliable, technically focused information will increase. This revision updates the successful previous edition with real-world implementation advice using the latest TCP/IP advances, approaching these topics from the perspective of the true networking professional. Windows 2000 TCP/IP will cut through the complexities and provides the most informative and complex reference book on Windows-based TCP/IP topics. This book is a tutorial-reference hybrid, focusing on how Microsoft TCP/IP works, using hands-on tutorials and practical examples. Concepts essential to TCP/IP administration will be explained thoroughly, then related to the practical use of Microsoft TCP/IP in a serious network environment. This book begins with coverage of TCP/IP architecture and advanced installation and configuration issues, then moves on to cover routing with TCP/IP, DHCP management, WINS/DNS name resolution, dynamic DNS..
