Hi Daniel,
   Other reply already presented you Cisco. And my message try to cover
another point:
   Theese intoductory trainning courses give you important knowledgement
about TCP/IP. Of course most of the time you probably will practice router
configurations, connect some lan (local area network) to another, simulate
some wan(wide area network) communicating to another, etc. Theese aspects
will be more important if you will work with support on networks. But what
is important for you to remember is: Tcp/Ip.
    With this aspects of Tcp/Ip studied, you will understand some commands
that we usually do such "netstat", "ping", "tracert", etc. Another aspect
is the possibility to program in Tcp/Ip in Unix. Douglas Comer has a set of
books that gives you several programs written in C for you process
communication between one computer and another in different places.
