Answer : Practical Networking Guide

http://www.howstuffworks.com  put in about any network term (www, ip, dns, etc.)
http://www.whatis.com - great IT dictionary
http://www.practicallynetworked.com
http://www.learntosubnet.com
http://www.cisco.com - lookup cisco university

Pick up a book on Network+ certification - great basic foundation in networking.
Pick up a book on the CCNA certification - slightly more detailed basic foundation in networking.
