Where can I find, and take, an online computer networking tutorial?

My role is being redesigned so that I work closer with our IT staff than I used to. I’d like to take a few online computer networking tutorials to brush up my skills and learn some of the newer concepts.

Computer networking covers a wide range of topics. Below are a couple of resources providing basic networking tutorials:

One way I keep up on new concepts in a technical area is by subscribing to periodic newsletters discussing specific subjects of interest. TechRepublic ( http://techrepublic.com.com/ ) and Techtarget ( http://www.techtarget.com/ ) are just two that come to mind.
