Summary: This Book is Great...
Comment: I truly cannot understand where this dude gets the idea there is no discussion of TCP/IP connections in the section covering Windows 2000. Evidently he's not paying attention. In fact, the section called "Learning How DHCP Works With Your Macs," beginning on page 292, clearly shows how you can use your Mac's TCP/IP Control Panel to access a DHCP Server established under Windows 2000.
Either that dude missed this section, or read another book. Either way, he doesn't seem to understand how it's supposed to be done.
In my company's network, a mixed setup with Macs in our art department and Windows boxes elsewhere, this book was an invaluable assistant in getting things to work properly when we migrated to W2K. I recommend it highly.

Summary: Windows 2000 Mac Support
Comment: Bummer, this book is a "wannabe".
Although, the Windows NT information is without a doubt, far and above superior to Microsoft's documentation it falls short with Windows 2000 support. Unfortunately, this book dwells upon AppleTalk as a viable protocol. However, Macintosh systems have supported TCP/IP as the native protocol since 7.x. AppleTalk is for all practical purposes dead -- Modern Giga Bit routers do not route AppleTalk. There is no discussion of Macintosh access via TCP/IP except implicitly through DAVE.
Microsoft might as well have written the discussion of the UAM (Universal Access Module) it is so terse. This book will be a great asset for those unfortunate folks supporting Legacy systems whose budgets will not allow forward progress.

Summary: Useful, but it could be more extensive
Comment: Generally, while I haven't READ it from cover to cover I spent a good 20-40 minutes examing the various parts that I was interested in. Overall, its useful to it's target audience as others said. However, if appears to omit some important points. First, the MacOS limits you to 255 volumes per server, resulting in some strange issues if you exceed this. Second, it ignores SMS integration and Netopia NetOctopus - software used to manage systems. In a cross platform environment, these can be very important issues that I feel should have been discussed.
For what it does discuss - which is otherwise extensive, including various service pack bugs - it does appear to be well organized and quite useful.
