Review: Great book with tasty NT info. I also bought the Windows NT Enterprise Networking book. These two books compliment each other and cover almost everything you'd need to know about NT networking big & small. Excellent job Anthony !!!

Summary: Another reader on the Tony Northrup bandwagon
Review: I had occasion to go through portions of this book again recently and could not help but be amazed, again, at how complete and information packed it is. Not only does it cover everything you REALLY need to know about NT networking but Tony writes in a wonderfully easy style that makes digesting all the deep tidbits--and there are a lot of those--easy.

The previous reviewer who said that this book is not long enough is right on. When you finish the book you will be amazed at what you did NOT know and want the author to keep telling you.

We can only hope Tony revamps this book for Windows 2000. If you run NT networks this book is a must have. It is also an excellent companion to studying for many of the MCSE tests because you'll disocver how things REALLY work.

Review: I spend alot of time analyzing packets and work mostly at the bottom 3 layers of the OSI model. This book has been a great help to me especially the chapters on Bandwidth, NetBIOS, and Troubleshooting. Well written with good explanations. The 3 books I use the most and highly recommend are 1. this book 2.The Cabling Handbook by Vacca 3.Switched, Fast and Gigabit Ethernet by Breyer & Riley They are all money well spent - Thanks Anthony Northrup.

BTW, the best course I ever took on NT was NT Network Analysis and Troubleshooting from Network General's (NAI) Sniffer University.

Summary: The Book for NT Admins in a TCP/IP Network
Review: If you've ever bought an NT TCP/IP book and wished it had more advanced troubleshooting material in it, buy this book. Take the advice of an MCP working in a Fortune 500 7x24 helpdesk, buy this book. It has very helpful sections on NetBIOS, WINS, DNS, and the whole book stresses analysis and troubleshooting.

Review: Without a doubt one of the best networking and NT-centric networking books I have read. Tony covers all the bases, with an emphasis on NT relevant areas, and uncovers a number of gothcha's in NT that can save you from losts of frustration. Even with Windows2000 this book will be useful as a great primer on Windows TCP/IP networking.
