If you run an IPX/SPX network and want to know what is really going on, you need this book. The most complete IPX/SPX book I have seen out there. A must for anyone that needs to troubleshoot or fine tune their Netware network.
A must have Reference for Novell Networking.

This book to me is the third or fourth edtion of this book with a different title each edition packing more information and topics than the first. Chappell in this book provides very detailed information on how IPX works from client to server. She provides excellent examples of packet traces of how things should appear and what to look for when things are not working right. The CD has a runtime version of Novell's Lanalyzer product, note you should own this product if you work alot with Netware it's one of Novell's best hidden products. Her books are excellent, I buy most of them; however, her presentation skills are out standing, just do not be a Fred (you'll have to attend a session for ture understanding or read about Fred in the book). If you are not able to attend a lecture/instruction/presentation of hers the books are the next best thing. The book is from the ground up (no rocket scientist understanding assumed). If you are involved in troubleshooting an IPX Netware network then you must have this book.
If you administer Netware, get this book.

Laura Chappell makes a difficult subject fun and easy to understand. There are thousands of computer related books out there that are practically unreadable. Here is a book on a very dry subject that you can read on your living room sofa,comprehend, and not fall asleep. The book takes you step-by-step on how to troubleshoot and monitor your IPX/SPX network. If you have anything to do with Novell networks and want to know how it communicates, look no further.
Take your network skills to a new level

First of all, if you haven't heard Laura Chappell in person, find one of her seminars near you and attend, she REALLY knows her stuff. This is a fantastic book if your at the level of doing serious LAN/WAN troubleshooting or optimization. The concepts, suggestions, and explanations are presented clearly with detail and humor. This is not a book you'll want to skim, but rather schedule time to read it. It will definitely elevate your ability considerably.
