Re: Good networking books for a beginner?
Somewhere I seem to recall having read an RFC which is a primer on IP basics. I remember especially liking the sections where it described the the inter-relationships between the network mask, the role that ARP plays, and the use of routing. Darned if I can find such a thing now, though. If anyone knows what this was, I'd appreciate a pointer. The plain-text, Courier-font layout sticks in my head, which is what makes me think it was an RFC that I saw, put I can't find it in a brief search on rfcs.org.

Thanks, rob An online article that I found quite helpful was Daryl's TCP/IP Primer http://www.ipprimer.com/overview.cfm I was quite surprised by how much detail was there when I started actually following along with its tutorial style.

I learned a lot from it. Seconded. This is probably the single most useful O'Reilly book for general networking/sysadmin tasks, and it includes some chapters or appendices on NFS/NIS, BIND, sendmail, and other common services that are very informative in addition. -- -Chuck ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's a bit pricey, but you can probably find a used copy on Amazon. Beech -- --- Beech Rintoul - Sys.

Beech Internet Core Protocols : The Definitive Guide is pretty good too for a more quantifiable analysis of networks than the Computer Networks : A Systems Approach book is in some ways.
