Hi, I’m Ed Liberman. My series of free videos on TCP/IP and Networking Fundamentals covers all of the basics you need to truly understand TCP/IP and get a solid foundation in networking.
This free video series focuses on TCP/IP theory and some important networking concepts including the OSI model, IP addressing, binary numbers, IPv6 and more.
Check out the videos and let me know what you think!
Just a quick course intro, only about half a minute long.
Lesson 2: What is a Protocol
Learn what a protocol is and how it is used for communication between computers on a network. You will also get a chance understand the OSI model — what it is and what it does.
Runtime: 19 min
Lesson 3: What is TCP/IP?
Gain an understanding of what TCP/IP is by learning about the architecture and the different protocols, including the Transport Layer and Internet Layer protocols, that work together to make up the TCP/IP protocol suite.
Runtime: 16 min
Lesson 4: Configuring an IP Address
Learn what an IP Address and Subnet Mask are and how they work together. Practice configuring an IP address, viewing a computer’s IP configuration, and checking for connectivity with other computers.
Runtime: 15 min
Lesson 5: IP Address Planning
This video discusses planning an IP addressing scheme, rules for IP addressing, classful IP addressing, and Network Address Translation (NAT). You will also see the difference between private vs. public IP addressing.
Runtime: 18 min
Lesson 6: Binary Numbers
Lesson 6 delves into binary numbers and how they relate to IP addressing. Learn what the difference between decimal and binary numbering systems is, how to convert decimal to binary and how to do it on your calculator.
Runtime: 15 min
Lesson 7: Internetworking
Starting with a brief review of what an IP address is and how it is broken apart, you’ll get a better idea of what a router and default gateway are. The video focuses on internetworking providing you with an introduction to client configuration and subnetting.
Runtime: 16 min
Lesson 8: Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR)
Lessono 8 focuses on Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR) and covers:
• Problems with Classful IP Addressing
• Variable Length Subnet Masks
• Subnetting with CIDR & VLSM
• Formulas
• Basic Network
• CIDR Notation
Runtime: 13 min
Lesson 9: Fundamentals of IPv6
In the last video you will learn the fundamentals of IPv6, including IPv6 solutions and addressing. You will also learn a little bit about IPv4 and its disadvantages.
Runtime: 12 min

it is very useful to learner by watching the video. i have learn lots of thing by watching this videos. now i can handle my home network without any experts help.
Excellent. Well done, Ed. I’ll take one of every video you’ve done (ok, well, in due time). I appreciate the freebies you guys post here, and look forward to a lot more learning and certifications from your training DVD’s. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much. You help me clear up some of the concepts I had a difficulties in understanding reading the textbook in my class.
Again thanks ,keep up the excellent work

I have read a few books to try and learn and understand TCP/IP but never came across anything like your training before. This is the best I have ever seen and now have a better understanding of Networking. I thank you for all your time and effort you have put in to this. Would recommend highly.
Thanks for the time you have taken to put this video together for the benefit of us. I have really learned alot. And it is a quicker way of learning. The videos are really useful. What a good idea. Thanks alot.
WOW! Ed you are by far the finest instructor I have had the pleasure of listening to. I have taken many certification courses from those who have been in the business many years. It takes someone like you ED that can communicate the concepts. making them fun to learn and easy to grasp. Thanks for being a part of TrainSignal. Your style and knowledge will move TrainSignal leaps ahead of the competitors.
Wow!..

Can We use your video to use in our Thesis study?
Your Reply is so much appreciated ..
the videos are not buffering good. can you put in other player? The ooyala player is so bad, i cant play the even after fully buffered, even 246 kbps not working with it with these player, plz change the player or provide me the download link.
This was a great supplement to my networking class … very easy to understand! One problem … I did have issues trying to get the videos to play. Lots of delays …
