See also "TCP/IP Network Administration". This is an "O'Reilley Associates" book. Virtually *everything* they publish is excellent. If they've ever published an even mediocre book, _I_ have never encountered it.
Anton, I'll second that recommendation. 'TCP/IP Network Administration' by Craig Hunt is an outstanding book; it taught me a lot about networking, really made the subject comprehensible. The other O'Reilly book that I found indispensable when getting started was 'Essential System Administration' by Aeleen Frisch. In fact, why don't I just "me too" about O'Reilly. Everything of theirs that I have seen has been excellent.
