"to start off with" you need to learn networking concepts; try:
The Linux Network Administrator's Guide
http://www.linuxdoc.org/LDP/nag2e/
-- this Second Edition was released last week :)
-- contains a useful overview of IP routing and Linux
configuration for various protocols
"Computer Networks"
Andrew Tanenbaum (Prentice Hall, 3rd ed 1996)
-- covers networking concepts and theory very well
to actually learn "TCP/IP" in copious detail:
TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1
W. Richard Stevens (Addison-Wesley, 1994)
-- keep it under your pillow at night
Cisco's online documentation
http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/index.htm
-- dig around for a few years :)
Also, somewhere in between (new, and I haven't read it so can't comment
on how good it is):
Internet Core Protocols
Eric Hall (O'Reilly, 1 ed Feb 2000)
-- claims to "cover the nitty gritty details of TCP, IP and UDP
... It's the only book on Internet protocols written with system and
network administrators in mind."
