Guidelines and Panel Discussion on Implementing TCP/IP Networks 

Come out and fill in the missing details on TCP/IP and the Microsoft 
Implementation of TCP/IP. 

We have organized speakers from related disciplines in implementing 
TCP/IP networks. They include individuals from a telco(tbd), a network 
hardware vendor, Microsoft, and a developer with TCP/IP and Internet 
application experience. They will first give a brief presentation on 
their respective topics and then participate in a panel discussion for 
us to ask questions. 

Please start submitting questions now to make sure your question is 
answered  (do this through the web site). Even if you are not using NT 
today, you will find this interesting if you want to gain a basic 
knowledge of TCP/IP networks. 

What will be covered? 

First we will be making sure that all of us understand the basic 
components of TCP/IP such as addressing, subnetting, routing and naming. 

Then, Gary Venner, Senior SE of Bay Networks, will cover where the 
industry is at in terms of equipment, what do I need to know about 
routers, layer 2 vs layer 3 switches and making sure they support DHCP. 

Then, Bob Gerard, Senior SE of Microsoft will cover Windows NT TCIP/IP 
implementation (DHCP, WINS, NT 4.0) 

And finally, Kent Alstad, Principal Developer, Eclipse Software, will 
discuss issues in developing applications that use TCP/IP networks and 
the Internet. 

Each speaker will give a short (15 minute) presentation on their piece 
of the puzzle. Following their talks, a 15 minute break and then a 60 
minute panel discussion for the audience to ask questions of the panel. 
We are encouraging the panel to brainstorm and jointly discuss/solve 
questions raised by the members. There may a few problems that are 
stumping you that you know that our panel can address. 

Topics discussed will include: 

Basics of TCP/IP
Basics of TCP/IP networking equipment
Microsoft TCP/IP networking (DHCP,WINS,etc)
Developing applications over TCP/IP and the Internet 


Look forward to seeing you there.

Regards,

Nancy Pearce
