Does anybody have a recommendation for a textbook for a first 
networking course for an Information Technology degree program?

I'm looking for something with readability of Kurose and Ross, 
but with significantly more emphasis on the practical aspects
that a network administrator would need.

Many of the hands-on books I've seen are pretty awful and don't 
have any technical depth; I'm looking for a serious university
textbook, not a dummies type book.

Thanks,
James
