This book contains more than 200 recipes that address many of the “How do I . . .?” questions that you could pose about Windows networking. It is a straightforward reference for a variety of tasks, ranging from handling everyday chores to solving more specialized problems. Windows Server 2003 Networking Recipes will be a great addition to your technical library.

Windows Server 2003 Networking Recipes can be useful to anyone who needs to deploy, administer, or automate Windows Server 2003 or even Windows 2000 networks. This book can serve as a great reference for those who work with Windows servers on a day-to-day basis. And because of all the scripting samples, this book can be extremely beneficial to programmers who want to accomplish various tasks in an application. For those without much programming background, the VBScript solutions are straightforward, and they should be easy to follow and use as a basis for more involved scripts.

This book is composed of nine chapters, each containing from ten to thirty recipes that describe how to perform a particular task. Within each recipe are four sections(A-Problem, B-Solutiond, C-How It Works, D-See Also)

"TCP/IP sockets in C# is an excellent book for anyone interested in writing network applications using Microsoft .Net frameworks. It is a unique combination of well written concise text and rich carefully selected set of working examples. For the beginner of network programming, it's a good starting book; on the other hand professionals could also take advantage of excellent handy sample code snippets and material on topics like message parsing and asynchronous programming." Adarsh Khare, SDT, .Net Frameworks Team, Microsoft Corporation

The popularity of the C# language and the .NET framework is ever rising due to its ease of use, the extensive class libraries available in the .NET Framework, and the ubiquity of the Microsoft Windows operating system, to name a few advantages. TCP/IP Sockets in C# focuses on the Sockets API, the de facto standard for writing network applications in any programming language. Starting with simple client and server programs that use TCP/IP (the Internet protocol suite), students and practitioners quickly learn the basics and move on to firsthand experience with advanced topics including non-blocking sockets, multiplexing, threads, asynchronous programming, and multicasting. Key network programming concepts such as framing, performance and deadlocks are illustrated through hands-on examples. Using a detailed yet clear, concise approach, this book includes numerous code examples and focused discussions to provide a solid understanding of programming TCP/IP sockets in C#.

This best-selling, conceptual introduction to TCP/IP internetworking protocols interweaves a clear discussion of fundamentals with the latest technologies. Leading author Doug Comer covers layering and shows how all protocols in the TCP/IP suite fit into the five-layer model. With a new focus on CIDR addressing, this revision addresses MPLS and IP switching technology, traffic scheduling, VOIP, Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN), and Selective ACKnowledgement (SACK). Includes coverage of Voice and Video Over IP (RTP), IP coverage, a discussion of routing architectures, examination of Internet application services such as domain name system (DNS), electronic mail (SMTP, MIME), file transfer and access (FTP, TFTP, NFS), remote login (TELNET, rlogin), and network management (SNMP, MIB, ANS.I), a description of mobile IP, and private network interconnections such as NAT and VPN. The new edition includes updates to every chapter, updated examples, a new chapter on MPLS and IP switching technology and an expanded TCP description that featuers Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) and Selective ACKnowledgement (SACK).  For network and web designers, implementers, and administrators, and for anyone interested in how the Internet works.
