Computer Networking Course Materials Free Online
Shivkumar Kalyanaraman writes "I am an Associate Professor in the Electrical, Computer and Systems Engineering (ECSE) department at Rensselaer Polytechic Institute (RPI). This post is to inform you that I have recently collected all the videos and audios of my networking classes and put them online, freely available." Read on below; the course materials are also available on CD.
"For those who might prefer a CD-ROM set of the videos, that can also be ordered from this site. I hope this will be a useful reference for those working in the networking industry or interested to learn about or brush up their knowledge of networking, but do not have time to take formal university courses. It could also help complement your regular studies on this topic.
Comments/Errata welcome! If you find this resource useful, please recommend it to your friends and colleagues.
Thanks!

Do I know of a way? yes. Will I tell you? No.
Why? You've demonstrated ignorance in two ways. For starters, you spoke against Microsoft. Secondly, you didn't look into the problem or read the posts enough to find the obvious solution.
a child could figure it out, give it a shot.
Folks,
The web server is on its knees as predicted and the entire department is affected. So, I have had to remove the high bandwidth/quality streams off the web area. But they are available in the the CD-ROM set (name-your-price ordering).
I plan to add a lot more material in diverse areas -- electrical engg, CS, mathematics, physics etc. I need to strike a balance between putting valuable free stuff and being voluntarily compensated (using name-your-price ordering of high-quality versions) so that i will have the incentive to put more free stuff.
this is indeed a pilot in open distance education -- i would invite views/comments on how best to balance all these considerations..
