Does someone know of a decent book/manual that describes in detail how to set up a TCP/IP internetwork? I would like it to describe how to use gated and routed, the name server, etc. in some detail for a person who has no idea what RIP and HELLO protocols among other things are. The man pages aren't much help!

The man pages aren't much help! I recommend that you get a copy of Comer's _Internetworking with TCP/IP_. It covers the theory and practice of TCP/IP internetworking in considerable detail; it is clear and concise and useful as both a tutorial and a reference. Of course, you will also need a set of the FMs for your system. Your local computer bookstore should be able to order this book for you. _Internetworking with TCP/IP: Principles, Protocols and Architectures_, Douglas Comer (Prentice Hall: Englewood Cliffs, NJ), 1988. ISBN 0-13-470154-2 025. To give you an idea of what the book covers, here are the chapter titles: Introduction and Overview Review of Underlying Network Technologies Internetworking Concept and Architectural Model Internet Addresses Mapping Internet Addresses to Physical Addresses (ARP) Determining an Internet Address at Startup (RARP) Internet Protocol: Connectionless Datagram Delivery (IP) Routing IP Datagrams Internet Protocol: Error and Control Messages (ICMP) Protocol Layering User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Reliable Stream Transport Service (TCP) The Core Gateway System (GGP) Autonomous Systems and Confederations (EGP) Interior Gateway Protocols (RIP, HELLO, GATED) Transparent Gateways and Subnet Addressing Client-Server Model of Interaction The Domain Name System Application Level Services Internet Research and Engineering Problems The book also contains a guide to Internet RFCs as well as a useful glossary. I can't recomment it highly enough for anyone who must set up or maintain a TCP/IP network of more than trivial size. >+-----------------------------------------------------------+ >| Michael Lodman Mike.Lodman@SanDiego.NCR.COM | >| NCR Corporation - Distributed Systems Lab - San Diego | >| 9900 Old Grove Rd.

The man pages aren't much help! >| Michael Lodman Mike.Lodman@SanDiego.NCR.COM I just finished the Book "Computer Networks, Second Printing", by Andrew Tanenbaum, which seems to be pretty thorough on the basics of networking, and the concepts of LAN. You might want to try it out. (Note: It's a textbook, so it may be just a bit dry...) -----------------------*------------------------------------------------------ yakker@ucrmath.ucr.edu | Matt Robinson, University of California at Riverside ..!ucsd!ucrmath!yakker | Department of Mathematics and Computer Science Systems Programming Group -- yakker@ucrmath.ucr.edu | Matt Robinson, University of California at Riverside -----------------------*------------------------------------------------------ ..!ucsd!ucrmath!yakker | Department of Mathematics and Computer Science
