Does anyone know of a easy to read BOOK to learn about IP addresses?what about letting Google be your friend? My regular job isn't in the computer INDUSTRY. I like dealing with wireless NETWORKS of which I have the opportunity at church. I have been using Google. I have been reading about changing ip addresses so two routers work together, giving ip addresses to video equipment. I am in the a/c and REFRIGERATION industry. Most thermostats have wireless CAPABILITY in which you connect to a network. You then can access them from your phone offsite when there are problems with the temperature in a room or scheduling problems. I work in a hospital with exceptional wireless capabilities. All of the pharmaceutical refrigeration have wireless temperature monitoring. They all have their own ip addresses. I will keep searching on Google.Isn't a book to learn about ip addresses a bit like a book to learn about zip codes? Perhaps the idea is a book to learn about the IP (Internet Protocol) itself, including the IP address space, and how it is managed? if so, I suggest:
