Amazon.com Review
With the release of Windows NT 4.0, Microsoft delivered a significantly improved TCP/IP stack, and a new set of Microsoft Certified Software Engineer (MCSE) exam requirements (MCSE + Internet Exam 70-059) to cover it. Osborne McGraw-Hill's Microsoft TCP/IP on Windows NT 4.0 does a fine job of helping you study for this exam. Unlike some tutorials that take a Cliffs Notes approach, it also does a fine job of teaching you the underlying material thoroughly, something that will be more important to your success in the long run.
After an introduction to TCP/IP and its relation to the OSI networking model, the book takes you through 11 key knowledge areas in depth. The most important include Internet addressing, subnetting, using NT as a router, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), NetBIOS host name resolution, Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS), and Domain Name System (DNS). Each chapter includes a drill section consisting of a series of statements covering important points. Each also includes a set of multiple-choice self-test questions on the material. The index is thorough, and the bundled CD-ROM includes the entire book text, a self-study module, and something on the order of 1,000 sample questions with links to the relevant explanations in the electronic text. The book itself has numerous tables and illustrations, a clear layout, handsome typography, and sturdy covers, a real plus when you consider how many hours you'll probably spend with it between now and exam day. --Tom Mace
