Folks, I know this is OT, but I was emboldened by the positive answers Sivakatirswami got to his "Mentoring Mac" question.
I am totally fed up with my lack of understanding of TCP/IP networking at more or less any level above the purely physical. I am surrounded by the wretched things - I have small LANs in two countries, cable and ADSL modems, WiFi access points, you name it. I know what an IP address is and I vaguely understand what DNSs do - but the mass of other info that one needs to successfully configure even the smallest network is just a jumble to me, and the alphabet soup of networking acronyms is just indigestible murk. Sometimes I get things working but I hardly ever know how I did it. I dread the advice on Windows XP Home Edition ('Home Edition' - doesn't the very name imply that one is working on one's own?) to consult your network administrator - and even Mac OSX says things like this nowadays. I ain't got no stinking administrator, just me.
Can anyone suggest a way out of this mess? I am quite willing to read a lot of material but the kind of starting point I want doesn't seem to exist.
TIA
