I was wondering if anyone out there has a good list of resources or a

suggestion as to any good websites for some advanced networking
information, i love books, alas i am a father of 3 and a sysadmin, so
hence i am to poor to by books right now. :-)

Check with the DLUG guys and see if any of them are taking courses from Wayne Tomasi. He is (was?) an awesome Professor at DeVRY, and he would give us e-copies of his books for our courses. Perhaps they could e-mail you a copy? Otherwise they are pretty pricey.
