Wombat's Newbie Reading List:
Internetworking with TCP/IP
Volume 1
Douglas Comer
Prentice Hall
ISBN 0-13-468505-9
(Comer also has a general networking book out, but I loaned it to a
newbie at the office - it is a better place to start for the novice than
the above)
Internet Routing Architectures
Bassam Halabi
Cisco Press
ISBN 1-56205-652-2
The O'Reily "zoo" books
Getting Connected: The Internet at 56k and up (good newbie book)
TCP/IP
DNS and Bind
Sendmail
System Administration
Managing IP Networks with Cisco Routers
(at http://www.oreilly.com - I'm to lazy to type the ISBNs)
Interconnections
Bridges and Routers
Radia Perlman
Addison Wesley
ISBN 0-201-56332-0
a bit dated in some areas, but good theoretical background on algorithms and
the early "building blocks" - Master this, and you can be an "oldbie."
... and "read an RFC a week" ... :)
