Title: Internetworking with TCP/IP: Principles, Protocols, and Architecture
Author: Douglas Comer
Publisher: Prentice-Hall, Engelwood Cliffs, NJ. 1988

I am about halfway through this book.  It does not cover particulars
of LANS or ethernet.  It does cover the tcp/ip protocol suite and some
surrounding network issues relatively well.  The book contains many
diagrams and is clearly written.  I recommend it highly.

There is another book which covers ethernet configuration.  I do not
recall the title or publisher but the author is Bill Hancock.  I have
not read the book so I cannot vouch for its qualitiy but Bill Hancock
lectures regularly at U.S. DECUS Symposia.  He is both informative and
entertaining.
