NEW TCP/IP NETWORKING GUIDE FROM O'REILLY

July 12, 1995 -- SEBASTOPOL, CA--O'Reilly & Associates offers network
administrators a comprehensive guide to the intricacies of integrating
IBM-compatible personal computers (PCs) with TCP/IP-based networking in
"Networking Personal Computers with TCP/IP," to be released on July 17.
Written by long-time network administrator Craig Hunt, author of
O'Reilly's "TCP/IP Network Administration," it offers hard-won advice on
how to deal with the challenges of TCP/IP networking. Most network
administrators deal with several networking "islands": a TCP/IP-based
network of UNIX systems (possibly connected to the Internet), plus a
separate Netware or NetBIOS network for PCs. "Networking Personal
Computers with TCP/IP" provides detailed instructions for the formidable
task of building a flexible and maintainable network.

In addition to providing basic TCP/IP configuration information for some of
the popular PC operating systems, the book addresses advanced
configuration topics and configuration of specific applications such as
email, remote printing, and file sharing. It also includes a chapter on
Novell's NetWare, the most popular PC LAN software, and an appendix on
free TCP/IP software for the PC.

"Networking Personal Computers with TCP/IP" covers:

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