Reader Reviews
You have a Unix server, Windows NT Server, Novell Server,Internet connection, workstations running Windows 95 that needs to loginto several servers and you need a reference book for each type of Server operating system...this is an expensive venture, that was until now. Ed Taylor has taken great pains to deliver to you one of the most complete Network Reference manuals I have ever seen. His 870 plus page book may be the only one you ever need. Taylor's ability to cover the complex network subjects in a detail yet simplified manner makes this book this administrator's choice. You'll find ways to manage all your network needs; you'll find information on HP Server, IBM Servers, Ethernet and fiber optic troubleshooting and so much more. Taylor goes above and beyond with an extensive glossary, acronym listing and RFC listings. From the newly appointed administrator to the season veteran and everyone in between, this book will be a useful desk reference. About the only thing the author may have wanted to include is the Network utilities cd-rom or an interactive practice cd-rom. Overall an excellent buy for the money. Comment | | (Report this)
