Two good books on TCP/IP that helped acclimatize me to the networking world:

	- "An Introduction to TCP/IP" by John Davidson
	  Publisher: Springer-Verlag

	  This is a small thin book with lots of diagrams.  You can zip
	  through it on a Sunday afternoon.  It concentrates mostly on IP
	  on Ethernet, but does a good breakdown of packet contents and 	
	  details each of the 7 OSI Model layers in separate chapters.

	- "Internetworking with TCP/IP" by Douglass Comer	
	  Publisher: Prentice Hall

	  Not exactly Sunday afternoon reading, this is a big, thick textbook-
	  format book.  Has worked well for me as a reference when I've needed
	  detailed information about something in particular.  Perhaps if you
	  ask, the nice person who posted a very detailed review of this book
      about a month ago will send you a copy.
