Preface

Introduction

When Microsoft launched Windows 2000 in February 2000, it sharply altered the way we're required to support local network operations. While earlier versions of Windows products can communicate on the local area network (LAN) using simple broadcast level protocols (e.g., NetBEUI), Windows 2000 and its Active Directory add a new dimension of capability and complexity to networking. A Windows 2000 network administrator must be comfortable and familiar with Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and the Domain Name System (DNS) just to get the Active Directory to function on his or her LAN. The reward for his or her effort in successfully creating a Windows 2000 networking environment is a robust Windows 2000 Active Directory domain with unparalleled scalability, extensibility, and interoperability.

This book begins with the basics of TCP/IP—information that would apply to any TCP/IP installation on any platform. Following a discussion of the TCP/IP protocol suite, we discuss key issues such as TCP/IP networks, subnetting, routing, and name resolution. We provide a primer on the Windows 2000 Active Directory and launch into Windows 2000 specific implementations of Windows Internet Name Service, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, and DNSystem. The coverage of these Windows 2000-specific network services will provide the background to effectively plan and manage a Windows 2000 network on the LAN, over a wide area network (WAN), through a company intranet, and on the Internet.

Chapter 14 provides very comprehensive coverage of the Windows 2000 Internet Protocol Security and Routing and Remote Access Service. These advanced subjects will permit the administrator to provide routing, virtual private networking, and dial-up access to his or her Windows 2000 network while ensuring tight network security.

The book concludes with a good look at heterogeneous connectivity and troubleshooting—two more areas that apply to TCP/IP on Windows 2000 or any other TCP/IP-based platform.

If you need to learn about the inner workings of TCP/IP or if you want to update your TCP/IP knowledge to ensure you can be fully functional in today's robust and flexible Windows 2000 environment, mastery of the subjects covered in this book is essential. Good reading!
