Summary: Nice improvements.
Review: Sometime in my reviews I come across a book that is not written to a certification exam objective, it is not written to cover any one topic, instead is meant to be used a reference guide and this is such a book. There are over 1300 pages covering A to Z or the networking arena including those items that begin with numbers. Things like A+ certification to DMZ to IEEE to MDAC to RPC and ZAK. The book has an abundance of pictures, diagrams, tables, figures, screen shots and code included with overviews of each word and cross referenced was well. This makes it one of the most complete manuals I have ever seen. Included in the book is a cd-rom with and e-book version complete with hyperlinks in the cross references. Overall this is a very in-depth overview as well as an excellent reference manual and a nice addition to my growing technical library.

Summary: The Best Book on my Shelf!
Review: This book is a must for any IT Professional in the field today. It offers not only definations to terms you may be looking for, but describes how it works in an easy to understand, yet in depth, format. Anything in the network world that you may want to know about is here. Helped to me understand a lot of things that I did not quite get while I was pursuing MCSE status. I have not had a book that I have purchased and used so much ever before. This is one book I have already recommended to all my friends because I really believe it is worth spending the money for!

Summary: This book rocks!
Review: What is an Active Directory structure? What does a cookie do? What is DMS? How does an Ethernet Switch work? Why is FAT 16 different from FAT32? What RFC covers ICMP? How does the NetBIOS name work? These are but a small portion of what you'll find in the best networking encyclopedia on the market today. From A to Z and everything in between this mountain of networking information is just what every network technician, help desk technician, LAN administrator and network engineer need at their side.

Covering topics like NT Workstation, NT Server, protocols, DNS, WINS, gateway operations, configurations and installations. Everything and I mean everything has been included. Microsoft Press left nothing out as they included an electronic version of the book on cd...For those serious about networking, from the beginner to the expert, you now have the definitive Microsoft Networking Reference manual - excellent job!
