Best networking books on mixed Windows environments?
I'm continually working on mixed Windows networks.
In all this time I've not found good descriptions of how all the pieces fit together, work together. For example: What happens if TCP/IP, NetBEUI and IPX are all installed on all computers? Are there protocol priorities for doing one task or another? etc. Some say to use all 3, others insist that TCP/IP is enough and others insist there is a proper mix for security purposes. Why does installing NetBEUI on one 98SE computer cause XP computers that don't have NetBEUI to disappear from view - even though they could see each other before installing NetBEUI on the 98SE or ME machine? How do Microsoft Family Logon and Client for Microsoft Networks differ? (I have seen both of them separately recommended to be used in order for a network to be reliable). What can be done to force or improve the time it takes to display the actual Workgroup computers after a change has been made? Oh, I've found pieces on the web. But, how about good books on Windows networking? I didn't see anything on amazon.com that sounded like what I'm looking for. Either the books were high-level networking books that don't talk about these Windows specifics and interactions (I already have books like that) or, they were about a single Windows OS and were too low-level to get into this kind of detail (and I already have books like that also). Thanks, Fred |
