Product 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

Customer Reviews & Comments
This book is an example of why you don't want a lot of different authors on a book. Practically every chapter started off reminding you that an IP address is a 32 bit number, divided into 4 octets. Yes, we remember that from the last 6 chapters, thanks. Some of the figure references are wrong and, as others have pointed out, text often refers to figures several pages away. That said, there is some value in their explanations and I thought the CD was useful due to the variety of sample exams. Don't expect to just read this book and pass, though...you'll need at least one more book or reference to fill the gaps.
