...guides for planning, testing and deploying a W2K TCP/IP network. A great troubleshooting help when you have connectivity problems.


Book Description
ABOUT THIS BOOK TCP/IP is available as a standard protocol included with all Windows operating systems and is installed by default in Windows 2000. Troubleshooting Windows 2000 TCP/IP focuses on Microsoft’s implementation of TCP/IP in Windows 2000. It discusses guidelines for planning, testing, and implementing substantial changes such as the setup or migration of a Windows 2000 TCP/IP network. This is the one book that focuses on the tools and techniques for troubleshooting Windows 2000 TCP/IP connectivity problems.


Download Description
TCP/IP is a set of protocols developed to allow computers to share resources across a network. It's not enough for network managers to understand how TCP/IP is "supposed" to work - they must know how to accurately detect and quickly correct problems as they occur. This book shows readers how to use products such as distributed sniffers, field metering tools, and protocol analyzers to discover what is going on (and going wrong) in a live Windows 2000 TCP/IP network. They'll learn how to monitor a Windows 2000 network and identify and correct protocol errors, DNS route problems, application faults, and slow response times.

From the Author
Have you ever tried to wade through a book dedicated to TCP/IP? Did your eyes glaze over looking at packet diagram after packet diagram? Have you ever wished for a book that would tell you how TCP/IP works on YOUR network? Most of all, have you wished for a TCP/IP book that gives you things you can DO to prevent and fix TCP/IP and related network services problems? If you find yourself relating to the above, you need this book. We've crammed it with solid, practical information that you can take to work and put into practice the day after you pick up the book. WINS problems on your network? Check out the chapter on WINS and you will understand why! DNS got you in a quandry? The DNS Chapter in this book will get you up to speed and help you fix pesky problems that might take forever to figure out otherwise. While we wrote this book for the working Windows 2000 network administrator, this is an excellent book to help you prepare for the Windows 2000 exams. The new exams will be focused on your ability to Design and TROUBLESHOOT problems on your network. What better book to help you ace the Designing a Network Infrastructure and Administrating and Implementing a Windows 2000 Network Infrastructure exams? This book was a joy to write. If we hadn't wrote this book, I definitely would buy it because its such a joy to read. Don't take my word for it, get a copy and find out for yourself!---Thomas W. Shinder, M.D., MCSE
