The complete guide to Windows 2000 TCP/IP, DHCP, WINS, and DNS.
This expert reference gives enterprise IT professionals serious, comprehensive guidance on Windows 2000 TCP/IP, DHCP, WINS, and DNS: planning, migration, deployment, management, troubleshooting, and more. Networking expert Paul Ammann presents specific solutions for the most common Windows 2000 networking challenges and applications — everything you need to build robust, manageable, high-performance enterprise networks!
Using real-world examples, Ammann illuminates every corner of Windows 2000 TCP/IP: architecture, installation,configuration, routing, WINS/DNS name resolution, dynamic DNS, and much more. You'll find crucial information on how Windows 2000's TCP/IP implementation differs from Windows NT 4.0, how it differs from the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standards, and how to make it work in your environment.
Among the topics Ammann covers in depth are: supporting TCP/IP clients, setting up options, modifying server defaults, monitoring optimization, and achieving interoperability. He also presents step-by-step techniques for implementing cost-effective remote management, dynamic setup, roaming users, intelligent Web browsing, software distribution, printing, PPP dial-up, and many other key network applications.
