[wplug] Networking?

[Zach]

I've been looking at DSL offerings and have seen various ISPs use the terms
"static IP", "public IP" and "static routable IP"? Are these all referring
to the same thing? I thought all IPs were routable whether static or
dynamic. Am I missing something? :-)

On a related note does anyone know of a good open source geared
book/website/PDF on learning networking? I'd like to learn wireless side of
networking eventually but figure I need to learn the classical nuts and
bolts side first. It would have to be networking on the cheap since I can't
afford to buy CISCO routers, PIX firewall etc. to learn on :)
I know a little but want to learn much more about networking. I want to
focus on the Linux side needless to say.

Thanks!
Zach
