Re: i need advice

There are 3 approaches in studying computer networks:

1. Data communication approach: this approach is recommended by communications staff and needs some cademic background in communication. However u can have an abstracted view to this approach. I recommend u "Data and Computer Communications, Sixth Edition. by William Stallings"

2. network vendors approach: This approach focuses on technical aspects rather academic. It concentrates on network administrations. The most famious tracks are: CCNA by CSICO and MCSA by Microsoft. If u r not graduated in an enginnering faculty (eithr communication or computer) I am recommending you this approach. The material of CCNA and MCSA is very popular and u can simply find alot on the internet.

3. Developing approach: This approach is focusing on understanding the protocols of the internet to can develope network applications. If u r excellent in programming i recommned u this approach. U can start from the great book "Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach Featuring the Internet by Kurose"

Hoping these info is useful

Re: i need advice

in my opinion you better start with computer networks book by andrew tanenbaum, and for more technical overview try communication networks by al garcia

Re: i need advice

Networking for dummies is a good idea in my opinion. Else get any CCNA textbook from your local bookshop. It will cover the basics.
