IMHO,

If you're anything like me, download and install Wireshark. This lets you see exactly what goes on. The book will probably make much more sense when you've seen things with your own eyes. Learn to recognize the handshakes, understand why they work that way and what can go wrong. Get a firm understanding of ports and sessions, then you'll see why the rest of the TCP/IP book is probably of little use to you as an app/script developer.

A racecar driver only needs to know so much about how roads are constructed.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
