To kick off the new year in style, Register associate IT-minds.com (http://www.it-minds.com/zone.asp?item=076&affid=tre) is bringing you a huge discount on Practical TCP/IP - the only book you'll need to follow to ensure that your networks work.

Based on years of practical experience, this hands-on guide explains the principles of networking, and the TCP/IP protocols in depth. Covering both Linux and Windows, Practical TCP/IP is applicable to just about any network.

"It does exactly what is says on the box - and more. This book builds up a picture of how and (more important) why an IP network should be administered. Perhaps its most distinguishing feature is its scope. Because this book gives the full, end-to-end operational detail, it is ideal for anyone who is concerned with delivering and supporting real services.

"This book adds to the current reference bank by illustrating IP networks rather than just explaining them."
Mark Norris, Telecomms Consultant and author.
