Course Support Materials
PowerPoint Slides: The "official" set of slides commissioned for use specifically with this book. Developed by Adrian J Pullin of Liverpool Hope University College.
OPNET OPNET is a professional modeling tool for networking configurations. An academic version is available and a student lab manual prepared for Computer Networking with Internet Protocols is available from Prentice Hall. This is a useful hands-on supplement to the course.
Computer Science Student Resource Site: Help and advice for the long-suffering, overworked student.
Errata sheet: Latest list of errors, updated at most monthly. File name is Errata-CNIP1e-mmyy. If you spot any errors, please report them to 
.
Figures: On-line transparency masters of the figures from the book in PDF (Adobe Acrobat) format.
Tables: On-line transparency masters of all the tables from the book in PDF format
Practical Exercises in Networking: These practical exercises are designed to help the student understand the operation of an Ethernet LAN and an IP network.
cnet Simulator: Developed by Professor Chris McDonald at the University of Western Australia. The cnet network simulator enables experimentation with various data link layer, network layer, routing and transport layer protocols, and with various network configurations.
Tools Page: Developed by Professor Kenneth Christensen at the University of South Florida. The tools page contains downloadable tools primarily related to performance evaluation of computer networks and to TCP/IP sockets programming. .
Data Link Simulator: Developed by Peter King at Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh. This tool enables students to write connection oriented data link protocols in Java and have them tested on a simulated communication channel.
On-line Simulation: Ann Burroughs, an Associate Professor at Humboldt State University has created two simulations that may help you visualize some of the concepts in the book. They require ShockWave plug-ins and a reasonably up-to-date browser.
A Discussion of Textbook Cost Myths: From the Text and Academic Authors Association.

If so, try using another browser or an FTP package. If that doesn't work, there might be a problem at your end or at your ISP, perhaps a firewall issue. Then you would need to talk to a system manager on your end.
