Network Programming Book Recommendations

I have recently become more interested in the network side of programming and found some tutorials on the internet and read `Beej's Guide to Network Programming'. I'd like to know your recommendations for good Network Programming books. I have heard that the books by W. Richard Stevens are good. What does /prog/ suggest?Except SICP

I'm not familiar with W Richard Stevens' network books, but his Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment is excellent so I'm sure his other books will be.

Having said that, network programming is no big deal. Beej's socket faq and similar pages were enough to get me going. Somehow a whole book on the subject seems overkill unless you want to be some mega network expert.

OP, here's a serious answer: you're right, R. Stevens a fucking guru on UNIX and networking. Go read UNP and then TCP/IP Illustrated.

First read, UNIX Network Programming, Volume 1, Second Edition: Networking APIs: Sockets and XTI, Prentice Hall, 1998, then you can read TCP/IP Illustrated, though only the first two tomes are vital. (the protocols & implementation)

but before you do that, you must acquaint yourself with C. If you're not comfortable, it's time to grab K&R2 and study.
