What this box contains: The book, "Internetworking With TCP/IP" Principles, Protocols and Architectures", 4th Edition (ISBN: 0-13-018380-6) and a CD-ROM which contains audio and animation to supplement the book materials.

In my opinion, the CD-ROM is not a necessity. The explanation offered in the book is top-class----CLEAR!! The CD-ROM is a plus but I think makes the whole thing overpriced. You can do with the book alone.

Installation is smooth but when you start the learning program from your computer,... it does NOT work. Apparently it was tested completely on the C drive hard disk and even hard-coded to a path on the C drive but the installation process does not copy the required folder on the C drive. After installation, just look at the contents of the batch file

C:\Program Files\PTG Interactive\Cyber Classrom\9055B1.BAT

and you will find that it is trying to access

C:\Program Files\PTG Interactive\Cyber Classroom\htdocs\9055b1\start.htm"

Dig further (look at the contents of start.htm) and you realize that you have to do some tweaking to make things work. This shouldn't be the case and the package is already overpriced!!

Just buy the book (ISBN: 0-13-018380-6)... In think I should just have bought the book only.
