On the 'net: (in no particular order)

The Internet.com Webopedia: The top non-search engine referrer of people to Daryl's TCP/IP Primer. It must be a good resource. ;-)
The IP Address Guide: Web-based IP address and domain name tools for Ping, Traceroute, NSLookup, CIDR, geolocation and an HTML Validator.
The Information Technology Professional's Resource Center: Well-organized set of links to other TCP/IP resources. Not for the weak of vision-- everything is <font size=1>
The IT Web Links Pages - Protocols: Links to other information on TCP/IP
Uri's TCP/IP Resources List: 'This posting contains a list of various resources (books, web sites, FAQs, newsgroups, and useful net techniques) intended to help a newbie to learn about the TCP/IP suite of protocols.'
Patrick's MCSE Place: Lots of MCSE stuff, links.
Google's Directory Service: the "best" links to networking resources. Too bad they don't acknowledge my requests to fix their link to me. >:-(

Other Favorites
The first book I reach for when I have a question about how my favorite DBMS, Microsoft SQL Server, works. I was ready to leave NT behind and switch to ColdFusion/Linux (from ColdFusion/NT) when SQL Server 7.0 came out.	Inside Microsoft SQL Server 2000 By Kalen Delaney,Ron Soukup Published by Microsoft Press
A must-read for any person who manages software development. The source of the oft-quoted "Brooks' Law": 'Adding manpower to a late software project makes it later.'	The Mythical Man-Month By Frederick P. Brooks Jr. Published by Addison Wesley Longman
Although I prefer ColdFusion for Database-To-Web projects, Java occaisonally fits the bill when heavy lifting is required. At the time of this writing, there are nineteen books on ColdFusion listed at Fatbrain, but I can't personally recommend any of them-- probably because I've been using CF since version 2.0 and simply don't need to be told how CF works.	Java Servlets By Karl Moss Published by Osborne/McGraw-Hill
JDBC and Java: Complete. Consise. What would we do without O'Reilly?	Database Programming with JDBC and Java By George Reese,Andy Oram (Editor) Published by O'Reilly and Associates, Inc.

In fact, every book I've read from O'Reilly and Associates has been very good. If you see one of their books relating to a subject you're interested in, my advice is to buy it.
