  RFC #1175 supplies a wealth of references, though a little dated.
   "FYI on Where to Start - A Bibliography of Internetworking Information"

  RFC #1180 is a good tutorial, with a focus on how an IP packet is delivered.
   "A TCP/IP Tutorial"

 2. On-Line Resources
 --------------------

  1. The comp.answers & news.answers newsgroups contain (or at least should) 
     all FAQ postings for the newsgroups dealing with computers.

     The following newsgroups contain discussion related to TCP/IP :
      - Newsgroups FAQs are posted periodically to their top-hierarchy
        answers newsgroup (e.g. comp.os.vms => comp.answers). Those
        groups, along with news.newusers.questions, are great places
        to look for FAQs & tips in.
      - the comp.protocols hierarchy, which covers various networking
        protocols, such as tcp/ip, kermit, and iso.
        notice that some TCP/IP related protocols have discussion
        groups of their own (e.g. NFS, SNMP, NTP, PPP).
      - the comp.dcom hierarchy, including groups that discuss lans,
        modems, and ethernet.
      - the comp.mail hierarchy, which covers various electronic
        mail programs (pine, elm, sendmail, etc).
      - The news hierarchy, which covers the various subjects related
        to usenet, including the NNTP protocol.

  2. All the newgroups' FAQs, as well as other intoductory documents are
     stored at ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/. A good introductory to TCP/IP from
     the site is the file ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/net/internet.text. The FAQs
     can be accessed on the web at http://www.faqs.org/ as well.

     As the rtfm.mit.edu & faqs.org sites might be heavily loaded, and
     as many sites mirror the FAQs archive, it is advisable to search
     for FAQs at geographically nearer sites. A list of many mirror sites
     (allowing access via FTP, WWW, Gopher, mail, etc) is available at : 
      ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/faqs/news-answers/introduction

     The comp.protocols.tcp-ip group has a FAQ, previously maintained by
     George V. Neville-Neil, now by Mike Oliver, is located at :
      ftp://ftp.pyramid.com/pub/usenet/internet/tcp-ip/faq.txt
      http://www.visi.com/~khayes/mpti/tcpipfaq.html

     The comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc newsgroup has a FAQ,
     written by Bernard D. Aboba, which can be found at at :
      ftp://ftp.netcom.com/pub/ma/mailcom/IBMTCP/ibmtcp.zip

     The sockets programming FAQ, by Vic Metcalfe, is located at :
      ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/unix-faq/socket
      http://kipper.york.ac.uk/~vic/sock-faq
      http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/socket/index.html

     The alt.winsock newsgroup has a FAQ, by Nancy Cedeno Alegria, located at :
      http://www.well.com/user/nac/alt-winsock-faq.html
      ftp://rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/windows/winsock-faq

     The windows-sockets page, by Bob Quinn, is located at :
      http://www.sockets.com/

     The Secure Sockets Layer Discussion List FAQ is located at :
      http://www.consensus.com/security/ssl-talk-faq.html
      ftp://ftp.consensus.com/pub/security/ssl-talk-faq.txt

  3. The comp.protocols.tcp-ip newsgroup is gated to a mailing list.
     The list is served by listserv@pucc.princeton.edu, and named tcp-ip.

     The comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc is gated to a mailing list as well,
     and it is served by listserv@ulist.nih.gov, under the name PCIP.


 3. WWW resources
 ----------------

  1. The internic's home page is http://www.internic.net/
     This is _the_ authorative source for RFCs (which include all
     the standards for TCP/IP), FYIs, and other infos about the
     internet and TCP/IP. There is an option to search RFCs by
     keywords, and an index of all published RFCs. 

     The internic's databases (RFCs, FYIs, stds, etc) are accessible
     via FTP at ds.internic.net, where there's a directories for RFCs
     (some are available in postscript format), drafts, FYIs, a resource
     guide (in both text and post-script formats), etc.     
 
     The internic's databases are accessible via email, at
     listserv@is.internic.net and mailserv@ds.internic.net.
     Messages should have an empty line, and to get further info,
     send a message with a body having one line, containing "help".

     Another email address is rfc-info@isi.edu - to get further info,
     send a message with any subject, and with the body having
     one line, containing either "help", or "help: ways_to_get_rfcs".

     Note : the RFCs are the documents giving the official documentation
            to the various internet protocols. For specs / description /
            details / info about any internet protocol, first look at
            the internic's site, or get the RFCs index via email.

     An excellent index of RFCs is available in an appendix in Comer's first
     volume, but it is current as of the publishing date only. 

     Comment : as many people seem to look for RFCs on CD-ROMs,
               I list here two titles I know of :
                1. Infomagic has a 2 CDs set titled "STANDARDS" which
                   contains, among other things, all the RFCs & IENs.
                2. Walnut-Creek has a CD-ROM titled "Internet Info" which
                   contains some of the RFCs & IENs, among other stuff.

  9. The DejaNews site archives all the posts to usenet.
     The site, at http://www.dejanews.com/, enables users to search through
     posts sent over the past few years using different methods, which
     may be combined, such as words from articles, authors, and newsgroups.
     The ability to find past posts discussing unfamiliar subjects is an
     endless source of information, and may supply immediate answers to
     questions asked on usenet in the past.

     If you wish to have a post of yours not archived in dejanews add
     the header "X-No-Archive: Yes" to your posting's header, or write
     it as your article's first line. Notice that this wouldnt prevent
     other people from quoting your article, thus causing the quoted
     material to be archived.

     Other usefull features of DejaNews :
      - Get poster profiles.
        This gives a count of how many posts did a poster send to each
        newsgroup, with a poster identified by it's email address.
      - Search for newsgroups discussing given subjects.
        As the search is done by frequency of words in posts, the
        results should be taken with a grain of salt, e.g.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          NEWSGROUPS WHERE PEOPLE TALK ABOUT: christianity

All the newsgroups in the following list contain christianity in some article.
The confidence rating indicates how sure we are that people talk about your
query in the newsgroup. Clicking on the newsgroup name will show you all of
the articles within the group which match your query.

          Confidence   Newsgroup
             99%       alt.atheism
             63%       rec.games.frp.misc
             54%       rec.music.christian
             39%       alt.religion.christian
             38%       soc.religion.christian
             38%       soc.penpals
             33%       austin.general
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 10. The Norwegian University of Science and Technology, located at Trondheim,
     has an FTP search engine on the web, located at
     http://ftpsearch.ntnu.no/ftpsearch, that can find files on anonymous FTP
     servers world wide.

     The search is similar to the one done by archie, and can be very
     useful for finding source code for utilities, FAQs, etc.

     A quick search for the word ping produced the following output :
