I'm using these two. The Tanenbaum book has a 6th edition, and I think the Top Down one has some newer editions as well. Not sure if they're the best, although they do seem relatively thorough, especially Tanenbaum.

It's a classic.

There are probably interesting intros out there, but for what it's worth, the standard text book on computer networks is Tanenbaum: http://www.amazon.com/Computer-Networks-5th-Andrew-Tanenbaum...
