Ask HN: What should i read to learn about Networks?

3 pointsby redxbloodover 11 years ago
So my question comes from the fact that yesterday, trying to install my router manually as i moved, i basically couldn&#x27;t. There were too many things i just don&#x27;t understand. Eg: DNS, MAC adress, Subnet Masks, Ip address, etc<p>So i know that it&#x27;s a very extensive list of things to learn, but i have the time. What should i read &#x2F; page would you recommend?

Some recommended options:<p>- Wikipedia<p>- TCP&#x2F;IP Networking by O&#x27;Reilly (a bit long in the tooth now, but still relevant and gentle)<p>- Network Warrior by O&#x27;Reilly (more focused on Cisco administration, but the author is good at breaking things down)<p>- TCP&#x2F;IP Illustrated by WR Stevens (a deep dive down the rabbit hole)

<a href="http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/CCNA_Certification" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikibooks.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;CCNA_Certification</a><p>It&#x27;s (obviously) Cisco-centric, but networking isn&#x27;t.
