Any good books on linux networking for a beginner? (re: OpenWRT)
I'm a newbie to linux. I've used it before, but only very very little. I know enough to get it running but I don't know the first thing about setting up networking with it or even how to read the routing table (eg. "route" command).
So, this weekend I purchased a WRT54G router and installed OpenWRT onto it (basically it's a mini-linux distribution that gives you incredible control over the router). That brings me to where I'm at now. I'm looking to setup port forwarding, etc, but I'd like to learn how to do it. Moreso, I'd like to learn about linux networking in general so I can better understand how things work and not just how to get them to work. Basically I'm looking for a good book (or other resource, but I'd prefer a good book) on linux networking. I'm a subscriber to O'Reilly Network Safari Bookshelf, so any books that are available on there is a plus. Here's what I'm looking to learn:
So.... any recommendations would be GREATLY appriciated. |
Hi sofakng,
Yolinux is a great place for resources. For basic networking and getting a good start visit http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/Lin...etworking.html For details that you need now or will ever need (i hope) just go to http://www.faqs.org/docs/linux_network/ (dont get scared tho :D ) Regards, SiLiCoN |
