If you have questions about enabling TCP/IP on your IntranetWare network, you can find the answers in Novell's Guide to Integrating NetWare and TCP/IP by Drew Heywood. This comprehensive book describes the basic and advanced concepts of TCP/IP and explains every option for implementing TCP/IP on a NetWare network. Although this book focuses on NetWare 4, the information applies to IntranetWare as well.

In the first half of this book, Heywood describes the relationship between the seven layers in the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model and the four layers in TCP/IP. (The OSI model was developed by the International Standards Organization to explain how computer devices communicate.) Heywood dedicates a chapter to each TCP/IP layer and includes detailed discussions of IP addressing and subnetting, IP routing, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and the Domain Naming System (DNS).

In the second half of this book, Heywood describes how to implement TCP/IP on a network, providing detailed descriptions, examples, and step-by-step instructions. Heywood describes how to set up and manage TCP/IP on servers and workstations, LAN and WAN TCP/IP routing, NetWare/IP, and Novell's LAN WorkPlace.
