	Networking Resources
Windows 2000 was born to network! But designing, implementing, supporting, and troubleshooting networks is almost a completely different skill set than general administration. We've collected a few resources to cover a "Networking Essentials" category, including protocols, cabling, OSI, and more.

Categories:

	Networking Basics The fundamentals of internetworking, FAQ's, tutorials, glossaries, etc.,
	Network Management Network analysis, optimization, load balancing, monitoring, etc.,
	Network Monitoring Using the NetMon utility to analyze traffic and troubleshoot problems.
	Books on Networking Our picks for great networking guides. Includes basic and advanced titles.
	Cabling Specs, resources, color coded guides, and more.
	Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) Allows you to share a single internet connection on your home network.

	Network Load Balancing A service which distributes IP traffic across multiple clustered servers.
	Quality of Service (QoS) Offers a way for networks to give priority to certain data, users, or applications.
	RAS/RRAS Routing and Remote Access Service allows users to dial in from the field.
	Virtual Private Networking (VPN) Allows users working off site to securely connect to your corporate network over the web.
	Wireless Networking Wireless standards, configuring and securing networks, known issues, and more.

Network Protocols and Related Components:

	Browser Service Provides a list of computers sharing resources in a client's domain across the wide-area network (WAN)
	DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, automatically assigns IP address.
	DNS/DDNS Resources for Dynamic Name System, and Dynamic DNS.
	IPSec Provides secure connections across private WAN's or Internet connections
	LMHOSTS Files Text files which provide NetBIOS names to IP mappings for remote hosts.

	Network Address Translation (NAT) Used by RRAS and ICS to translate internal client addresses to a gateway.
	OSI Model Layer Guides to the OSI reference model for networking.
	SNMP Provides the ability to remotely troubleshoot and monitor hubs, routers, and other devices.
	TCP/IP TCP/IP basics, tutorials, configuration, subnetting, troubleshooting, protocols,
	WINS Resources for managing the Windows Internet Naming Service.
