Riassunto

NetWare, LAN Manager, NETBIOS, DOS, Windows, Windows for Workgroups, Windows NT...Confused? Many administrators of TCP/IP-based networks are. In a world dominated by IBM-compatible Personal Computers (PCs), it is inevitable that you will be asked to add some of these systems to your network. A bewildering variety of operating systems and networks are offered for PCs. Finding your way through this maze of options can be a daunting task.

"Networking Personal Computers with TCP/IP gives you practical information as well as detailed instructions for attaching PCs to a TCP/IP network. It discusses the challenges you'll face and offers general advice on planning and managing a network; it provides basic TCP/IP configuration information for the most popular PC operating systems and covers configuration of specific applications such as email, remote printing, and file sharing. The book also includes a chapter on integrating NetWare with TCP/IP and an appendix on free TCP/IP software for the PC.

If you're not familiar with the basics of TCP/IP network administration, check out O'Reilly's companion book, "TCP/IP Network Administration. It covers the basics of TCP/IP networking and provides detailed instructions for setting-up UNIX workstations and servers on a TCP/IP network.

"Networking Personal Computers with TCP/IP covers:

How to reduce the problems PCs can cause for network administrationTools to help a network administrator support PCs Detailed examples of TCP/IP configuration under DOS, Windows, Windows NT, Windows 95, and Novell NetWareAlternatives to custom, system-by-system configuration, including techniques for using tools such as RARP, BOOTP, and DHCPConfiguration of thePost Office Protocol (POP) servers and clients that allow PC users to receive email directly at their desktopsConfiguration of file sharing and printer sharing

Su questo libro

Dalla quarta di copertina

If you're like most network administrators, you probably have several networking "islands": a TCP/IP-based networks of UNIX systems (possibly connected to the Internet), a separate NetWare or NetBIOS network for your PCs, perhaps even separate NetWare and NetBIOS networks in different departments or at different sites. And you've probably dreaded the task of integrating those networks into one. If that's your situation, you need this book! When done properly, integrating PCs into a TCP/IP-based internet is less threatening than it seems, and it gives you a much more flexible and extensible network. Craig Hunt, author of TCP/IP Network Administration, tells you how to build a maintainable network that includes your PCs. This book gives you practical information as well as detailed instructions for attaching PCs to a TCP/IP network. It discusses the challenges you'll face and offers advice on planning and managing a network. Basic TCP/IP configuration information for the most popular PC operating systems is included, as well as configuration of specific applications such as email, remote printing, and file sharing. Novell's NetWare, the most popular PC LAN software, is covered in Chapter 11. Installation of public domain TCP/IP software for the PC is described in Appendix E.
