:(

The book duplicates far too much information,
by covering each topic twice or even three times.
Really annoying is the way that sometimes in the
text the author says 'To find out detail x/y/z,
ask your network administrator'. Isn't that what
the book is meant to teach you what to be ?

The structure and order both stink too. Putting
breakdowns of TCP segment headers in the intro
chapter has got to be wrong - shouldn't this be
an appendix ?

The book also claims to cover BOOTP and DHCP administration, but totally misses out how to
configure a client of these services. It also
claims in one chapter to cover RARP server
admin, then doesn't.

Most of the information needed is in there -
it's just mostly in the wrong place.
