Recommend some books about networking so I can learn more : )

What level? Beginner?

Short of taking a class, you can find most of the same material for free on-line once you know what to search for.

You can search amazon for networking books but I've found that CompUSA usually has a great selection on their discount rack. Most of the concepts and technologies of internetworking are pretty static. Just focus on learning the basics like IP addressing, subnetting, cabling, etc and you'll be off to a good start.

well some very basic ones to start you off would be the CompTIA Network+ and Server+ im pretty sure ive seen various books for them around the internet just google ebooks of those two things.

Thanks for the advice, more like beginner/newbie level

Go to your local library, there you will probably find a few books to give you some basic knowledge.

Great suggestion!

And if they don't have a good selection on this topic, go talk to the head librarian and inform them of the fact. I've seen librarians react to deficiencies like that and go buy some books...you can probably even suggest a few titles.

Was just working on a term paper and came across this cool paper from 3com. It is a bit dated, but still relevant.
