Understanding TCP/IP

class C subnets totally give me a boner

CCNP actually...and whats so special about the word Cisco?

Thanks for this. A real help.

that's kinda redundent, but I'm sure Sun doesn't care.

Internet Protocol doesn't mean Internet Protocol. it means something else. good point.

Wow.... You used the word Cisco.... you must be a CCNA... very impressive.

sorry about the multiple comment post!!! i was lagging and clicked the buttin 4 times but please help message me

For anyone who thinks this is a good explanation of TCP/IP, I beg to differ. He either intentionally misrepresents what TCP/IP actually is or gives a newbie explanation of it. Anyone who wants to really know what TCP/IP is, open up a CISCO text and read it over, probably more then once, then you will get the idea.

lol...TCP/IP is not a protocol, its a suite. TCP/IP is a subset of OSI suite (or OSI layers). TCP/IP was actually invented in the circumstance of a war for vendor neutral interoperability and standard communication.

*prays to solaris"
the ultimate OS of all operating systems.

/sarcasm

good books though

You would prefer Linux. I find most of the people who are into Linux use it, not because they love UNIX but because they hate Windows. They're just jealous of Bill Gates and all of his money and can't stand the thought of giving him more. It's all in the motive. As for me, I love UNIX and I don't hate Windoze or Linux. I used Slackware for a while (et. al.) and every version of Windows since 3.1.

Ah, whatever big boy

solaris? i would prefer linux asshole,
by the way mike is the best

How should i configure two computers so both can share internet connection without using a router? Instead, installing two LAN adapters in the main computer; one adapter is for the main line, while the other adapter connects to the other computer using an ethernet crossover cable.

1) Don't mind me. I'm pedantic.

2) Well, at least you're into Linux. I can't talk. I've used Windows literally every day since 3.1(1).

3) Nerdy? His first book wasn't nerdy. Captivating, enthralling, marvelous even but not nerdy. You want nerdy? Read his book on interprocess communication. That's nerdy. Personally, my favourite is Network Programming. I like to program in C/C++ using the Berkeley sockets API.

1) This is a tiny part of a much longer discussion and we eventually get to the concept of stacks and suites.

2) I prefer Linux but Windows is dominant - I gotta follow the money.

3) Read the book - loved it. Too nerdy for my audience.

Mike Meyers

TCP/IP is not a protocol. It's a protocol suite. A collection of protocols that work together as protocol stack.

My God, you're using Windows. Wake up to yourself man. Get a real OS. Get Solaris.

Apart from that, not bad. You need to read W. Richard Stevens book - you'll love 'em.

it's freee yeahhh :)

very good explanation

Good explanation, thanks

the OSI model is just for educational matter
