Can anyone recommend a good all round networking book with diagrams and good explanations.
I have got David Groths excellent Network+ 2005 book but I would
like a general networking book as well rather than the objectives for an exam

I dare say the Guys will answer more comprehensively than me here, Boyce, but one book that I know many network guys swear by is Ian McLean's TCP/IP Black book.

Have a look HERE (clickable link)

 

Cheers Gav. I was thinking of this
Anything saying Cisco I though of as pretty advance stuff but this book goes through fundamentals too!
What do you think?

 

I don't know how indepth you want to go, but I have TCP/IP Illustrated, Vols. 1 & 2 out of the 3 volumes. They are fairly academic, getting dated, and deal a lot with Unix networking, but if you really want to understand TCP/IP and networking they are very good.

 

Cheers I will take a look
