with this utility and discovering what kinds of information it can provide. Work with the Net utility
on a test system to build your skills at using it.
Chapter 11 goes to a deeper level than just the network by showing you techniques for working
with TCP/IP. Because TCP/IP is the basis for most of what you do with a network, it??™s important
to know how to work with it at the command line. Without TCP/IP, you couldn??™t make a connection
or perform any useful work with the network. Most importantly, many of the network woes
you??™ll encounter occur with TCP/IP. In many cases, you??™ll find that configuration problems are to
blame. The information in Chapter 11 can help you avoid these configuration issues.
Chapter 11
Working with TCP/IP
The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the basis of most of the communication
on modern networks and the Internet alike. As an administrator, you must know about TCP/IP or
you??™ll never get your network working. In most respects, TCP/IP isn??™t a complex protocol for communicating
between computers because its originators designed it to provide simple, robust, and
reliable service.
