This review is from: AppleShare IP (Paperback)

I had jumped in to help with a school's Mac/Appleshare/IP network and needed some immediate help and guidance beyond Apple's own documentation.

Tom Dell's book provides a good subject background for those of us just getting our feet wet and moves right on through the material with full information for even the advanced user.

Contains good examples, meaningful screen displays to take you through various setups and options. He also gives you enough information to help make decisions when there are multiple paths you may take with your Appleshare/IP setup. There are good references to additional books and materials. The CD included with the book also contains much useful information for related software, both shareware and commercial.

With using this book as a guide, I found if I still had questions, it had helped me identify where I needed to go to answer them.
