I know these are very basic. As I have been setting things up and
expanding things, I've found lots of docs and howto's on individual
components and how they work, but along the line I missed networking
pre-school. I got the Linux Networking Cookbook yesterday and it covers
things well in a step-by-step manner, but still assumes I know some
things I don't. Another book is on order but will be 2 weeks and is
more advanced than this one by the sound of it. Other books recommended
on this list are proving hard to find through local suppliers.

Yes, they are somewhat basic questions...

I know what you mean by books and their availability. My situation is
even a bit more acute since the books I want/need are often
available....but only in Chinese. So, I do have to suffer while I wait
for the UPS guy to deliver from Amazon.
The way my mind works I like to understand the fundamentals, but with
networking I've jumped in further. Over the years I've found that
people with experience can explain things with more clarity than many
authors, hence approaching this list.


Well.... I still feel that sometimes this list is over used for topics
that can better be discussed elsewhere. I just don't feel this list is
the proper place to discuss general networking theory/practice. Now,
how to implement networking practices under fedora/red hat systems would
be more appropriate....and sure there are grey areas (or gray
areas)...but your Qs are as you say....basic.
