1.0 out of 5 stars Incomplete, inaccurate, and poorly cross referenced, January 29, 2008
This review is from: Microsoft Windows XP Networking and Security Inside Out: Also Covers Windows 2000 (Paperback)
I bought this to set up a network between Win XP Pro and Win 2000 Pro. The first instructions I looked for turned out to be inaccurate, incomplete, and poorly cross-referenced or highlighted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big Book!, January 6, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Microsoft Windows XP Networking and Security Inside Out: Also Covers Windows 2000 (Paperback)
This is one big book, but also a wealth of information. I have dog-eared and highlighted my book. I would recommend.
