Errors, Corrections, & Bugs

Chapter Page Description/Notes
5 54 Spanning lines two and three from the bottom, the word another is improperly broken.
5 61 In Figure 5.6, the left port on Router2 should be labeled Eth=E7 rather than Eth=R7.
6 66 Starting with the second sentence in paragraph two the text should read:

A subnet mask of 255.255.250.0, or FF-FF-FC-00, reserves six bits for subnet and 10 bits for host. 131.168.249.230 and 131.168.251.47 would then be on the same subnet — the 131.168.248.0 subnet!

9 182 In bullet 3, there should be one reverse zone database for each IP network. Suppose, for example, you have host names belonging to three different domains, but all the IP addresses are in the same IP network. There would be three forward zone databases (one for each domain) but only one reverse zone database (for the one IP network number).
9 182 Bullet 4 should state that the local database translates "localhost" to IP address 127.0.0.1 and not to 127.0.0.0.
12 266 In the lower left corner of the sidebar Base64 Encoding, the text Base65: should read Base64:.
266 266 The explanation of Base64 encoding is incorrect. For the correct explanation, see RFC 1521: 5.2. Base64 Content-Transfer-Encoding
16 405 Locating perl.exe or other executable programs in URL-accessible locations, as done in this section, is no longer considered good practice. See section 16.3.7 on page 433 for reasons. For information on running perl programs safely with Microsoft IIS, consult the Microsoft Knowledge Base. For other servers, consult your product documentation.
18 511 The next-to-last sentence on the page should should read, "Section 18.6.3.3 discussed how to obtain and use digital certificates."

Please notify the author if you discover other errors or omissions in Building Net Sites with Windows NT.
