Novell's Guide to NetWare® 5 and TCP/IP

Rating:
Summary: Excellent Coverage
Review: I used this book to move my NetWare 5/6 Network to a pure IP environment. It helped in the design and deployment of services such as DHCP and DNS using our NetWare 6 servers. NetWare makes TCP/IP very easy to manage.

Rating:
Summary: Not a certification book
Review: If you are looking for good reference material for the TCP/IP exam by Novell, this is not a one stop shop. It covers about 3/4th's of the information for the exam if you use it for that purpose as I did. I did found some great how to's about migrating and running my Netware 5 environment and make things a little better. But this book is not great if you are looking for certification. Yet it is the only one out there that comes close.

Summary: TCP/IP for NetWare 5
Review: Like any Novell Press book, the authors explore the subject matter from a Novell Network Administrator/Engineer point of view. The subject matter of TCP/IP is covered for mastering IP subnetting and other network IP addressing topics of TCP/IP.

Buying Novell Press books is a inexpensive way to study for the NetWare 5 CNE exams without needing to take the course with the Novell Study Kits that cost a fortune for the same material in Novell Press books that help CNE candidates study and prepare for the real exam.

Summary: TCP/IP for NetWare 5
Review: The chapters on administering the new features in Netware 5.x and the step by step instructions on migrating existing servers to IP make the book. The discussion of the origins of IP and "how it works" makes this protocol much less "magical."
