Entertaining

For such a dry topic, this read was entertaining and the data conveyed is definitely useful if you are intending to work with networks and have not been trained as a network associate or received your CCNA designation. Thanks.

When they say a dummy can learn it....

The very best!

I went to school for this...and it has some of the simplest explanations of why I do what I do.

Highly recommend!

Well rounded

Useful information and tips to put in use all the way for an Enterprise Network Admin.

Loved this book! Great geek humor!

Loved this book! It has many geek jokes scattered throughout. It's a good refresher and I plan to enjoy it again in future.

Comprehensive superficial review

Networking for Dummies, 11th Edition addresses all, clearly but never in much depth. Networking under a Unix OS? Here are some things about Unix. Windows? Here's a brief tour. Wanna be a networking guru? Pay for the training. Clueless and want a broad overview of the challenges? This book can help. Typical of the series.
