Administrators of networked workstations will appreciate this book's deep coverage of TCP/IP, DHCP, WINS, and NetBT. There's also excellent coverage of RAS and the details involved in configuring a computer for dial-up access to a network. Also helpful is the discussion of exactly what goes on during the NT installation routine and how to customize the process. A guide to NT's command-line interface wraps up the book. The companion CD-ROM is stocked with some handy shareware, including the popular WS-FTP FTP client and Remotely Possible/32.
