This review is from: Networking With Netware for Dummies Quick Reference (Paperback)

A neat little book! You wouldn't fly a 747 without checklists; the frustration is always in the details. When something takes out the network, or the server isn't behaving itself, you won't be wading through philosphy or obtuse theory to get to the one thing you forgot to do.

Believe it or not, Networking with Netware for Dummies Quick Reference is readable and well organized, with enough context and breadth to help focus you on your next problem. Think of it as having a yellow-clad peer helping you out in a bind.

Why only four stars? Well, client installation and details are weak for 3.1x. Although we all know that 3.1x networks are fading, it's those older network quirks that are most likely to chomp the old gluteals.

Don't I wish there was an NT version of this book!

Buy it today..buy two of them, you're bound to have one stolen by an evil co-worker.
