Goto your nearest bookstore and get these books:
1. Essential system Administration - Aeleen Frisch
2. TCP/IP Network Administration - Craig Hunt.
Both these books are from O Reilly Associates and pretty good
starters into the protocols and essentials of Unix based sysadmin.
You should also take some time to read the RFCs on different

Hope this gets you started and you enjoy your new job:]
