This is a 5 star book because it takes you down to the lowest level of detail without losing you. This is primarily due to the book's excellent organization where each chapter builds on the previous ones. Although it calls itself a reference, it's an excellent sequential read to learn what TCP/IP is about under the covers on Windows Server 2003.

As an Microsoft MVP, Microsoft presented this book to me and I've read it carefully, I found it's a great book of TCP/IP protocols in Windows Server 2003. If you want to be a professional of Windows Server 2003 TCP/IP protocols and services, buy and read this book, it's great really.

Are TCP/IP protocols and services fun topics? No. This is not a "fun" book. But, if you need to know how an IP protocol works, this is a great source. Davies and Lee cover the critical protocols in deeply and understandabley.

The original book for Windows 2000 was a great look at the underlying TCP/IP protocols. None of the how to set it up or manage it - just a no nonsense look at the underlying protocols. This approach is continued in this useful update. Well worth the price!
