4.0 out of 5 stars Great guide for beginners, July 29, 2005

By	Brad Thomas (Illinois) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book by Mark Soper delivers the essential information about home networking. I have recommended the book to several friends after using it myself for building a home network. If you are a novice and need help getting started or want to plan and deploy your first home network - this will be a great guide. Soper uses personal experience and humor to help you overcome any fear of technology. I found the book to be practical and a useful step-by-step map for setting up home networks. Bravo!
