Microsoft Windows 2000 TCP/IP
Protocols and Services Technical
Reference (It-Microsoft Technical
Reference) by Joseph Davies
An Excellent Work For Those Dying To Learn It All
As Microsoft Windows becomes increasingly network-centric, its TCP/IP
services get increasingly important. Microsoft Windows 2000 TCP/IP
Protocols and Services Technical Reference documents the protocols as
they relate to Windows 2000. Odds are high that youll find the networking
solutions you need in this book. Even though its not designed as test
preparation, the book provides a grounding in the TCP/IP protocols thats
strong enough to help you pass the TCP/IP exam (70-059) en route to a
Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) certification. The Open Systems
Interconnect (OSI) reference model is the organizational guide for the
book. With each protocol in the TCP/IP stack, the relevant open standards
are documented with packet diagrams and clear explanatory prose. Lots of
Network Monitor traces appear (with comments) too. Open standards are

tied to Microsoft-specific phenomena, including the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) implementation, Domain Name Service
(DNS), Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS), and Internet Information
Services 5 (IIS 5). Throughout, the authors emphasize what is
communicated over the network in various situations, rather than
configuring Windows 2000 itself. The companion CD-ROM is underused,
but it does contain some worthwhile network data captures illustrating key
transactions that are designed for viewing in the Network Monitor
application that ships with Windows 2000 Server or Systems Management
Server 2. --David Wall Topics covered: The Internet protocol stack as
Microsoft Windows 2000 implements it, with emphasis on address
resolution, routing, Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), Internet
Group Message Protocol (IGMP), IPv6, and TCP connections and data
exchange (including errors and retransmissions). More Windows-specific
material deals with Microsofts implementation of DHCP, DNS, WINS, and
tunneling protocols for virtual private networks (VPNs).
Personal Review: Microsoft Windows 2000 TCP/IP Protocols
and Services Technical Reference (It-Microsoft Technical
Reference) by Joseph Davies
As a junior windows 2000 network administrator when I first purchased this
book I needed a reference with easy to understand information but
technical enough to help me with my everyday task. After reading this book
I went from barely knowing how TCP/IP worked in a Windows 2000
environment to knowing how each type of ethernet frame was made
thanks to the extremely well explained (and detailed) schemas. The IP
routing chapter is also very well written and explained. The book also
comes with a CD which contains all the network monitor traces for the
examples in this volume. I personally can't wait for the .net version of this
book comming later this year...Congradulations on a well written book to
Thomas Lee and Joe Davies!
