I'd recommend _Computer Networks_ by Tannenbaum as a good theoretical
textbook.  Kind of dry, but it covers all 7 layers of the OSI model in
depth.  The best way to master networking other than reading is to get
your hands dirty and set up a network of any kind. Experience is the
best teacher, IMO, but knowing theory doesn't hurt either.
