Customer Reviews

Great book for beginners with a home network.

This is a good book to fine out just what a home network can do and how to do it. I finally got my home network running with the help from this book and an article on-line. This book did lead me step by step on how to use Netmeeting so that I could work on the kid's computer while not leaving mine.The author of this book spends a lot of time making things easy with all of the step-by-step instruction. So if you don't now or care about things like "cmd" or "ipconfig" you will really like this book.

Great Book

Don't be fooled by the one negative review here..this is a great book for home networking. The typo (from Gigabit to Gigabyte) doesn't change the wonderdful content of this book and how EASY it makes it to create a home network. This book has won praise all over the place.

Good discussion of the basics

Most Microsoft publications are either trivially simple or opaque. Not this one. Neibauer clearly discusses the essentials of home/small business networking. He includes discussions of a lot of material that I have been unable to find elsewhere.

Best Little Network book around!

THE BEST! This is one of the most straight forward books on networking and Windows that I've ever read. I only wish it had been my first, it would have saved me hours of Windows setup time and hardware shopping.

The Best Guide to Home and Office Networking!

This is the best book I have ever come across for home and office networking using Windows95/98. It's easy to read and understand. Alan Neibauer takes you through each process step by step along with helpful follow along images. If your new to networking this is the book to get.
