Alan,
I?m sorry you didn?t find TechRepublic?s Administrator?s Guide to TCP/IP, Second Edition to your liking. I encourage you to return it for a full refund. Just contact customerservice@techrepublic.com, as printed on the book?s back cover, to coordinate the return.
Incidentally, I?m obligated to note that none of the material published in either the book or on the CD-ROM contains public domain works; all of the content (with the single exception of the freeware Sam Spade integrated network query tool) presented in the Administrator?s Guide to TCP/IP, Second Edition is original, copyrighted material.
