You could do worse than Computer Networks by Tanenbaum

The first volume of TCP/IP Illustrated by Richard Stevens is wonderful. Ethernet frames, ARP, IP, ICMP, BOOTP, DHCP, UDP, TCP. Just make sure to get the original version.

I consider this the greatest technical book ever written.

Stevens gives himself a lot of competition with APUE tho.... hard to pick a winner between the two.

Stevens' writing was engaging and pedagogically top shelf. Kevin Fall attempted integrating his coverage of newer protocols into the preexisting text, and unfortunately, completely butchered it.
