The second edition of Teach Yourself TCP/IP in 14 Days expands on the very popular first edition, bringing the information up-to-date and adding new topics to complete the coverage of TCP/IP. The book has been reorganized to make reading and learning easier, as well as to provide a more logical approach to the subject.

New material in this edition deals with installing, configuring, and testing a TCP/IP network of servers and clients. You will see how to easily set up UNIX, Linux, and Windows NT servers for all popular TCP/IP services, including Telnet, FTP, DNS, NIS, and NFS. On the client side, you will see how to set up DOS, Windows, Windows 95, and WinSock to interact with a server. Examples and tips throughout these sections make the process easy and clear.

Also added in this edition of Teach Yourself TCP/IP in 14 Days are new sections on DNS, NFS, and NIS. These network services have become popular with the growth of large TCP/IP networks, so we show you how to configure and use them all. A new section on the latest version of IP updates the treatment of the base protocols to 1996 standards.
