More About the Author

Pete is the original Dial-A-Nerd. The Dial-A-Nerd concept was created in the late 1980's to provide telephone help to the general public. Dial-A-Nerd was originally advertised in the 1990 USA Today classifieds. Dial-A-Nerd became the Dial-A-Nerd Radio show on WJFK Radio and then the Technically Correct TV Show on WMAR ABC Channel 2 in Baltimore.

Pete has certainly been around since before the earliest days of personal computers. During his early years working in data communications he personally met some of the pioneers of the Internet, but he never met Al Gore. Pete often likes to claim he's older than the dust in a 1981 PC.

Pete founded The Moulton Company. The Moulton Company developed and delivered the first PC Troubleshooting Seminar for Data Tech Institute in the mid 1980's. Following from this Pete has developed and delivered seminars on Telecommunications, PC Troubleshooting and Repair, and PC Networking on every continent on the Planet save Antarctica.

Pete wrote several books for Prentice-Hall Publishers including "A+ Certification and PC Repair Guide","The Telecommunications Survival Guide", and "SOHO Networking."

Pete's PC support and troubleshooting experience comes from building and supporting PCs, and training non-technical users to maintain and troubleshoot PCs over the last 30 years. His work continues today and has led to writing and publishing "Pete the Nerd's Do It Yourself Virus Removal."

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Networking Text, July 6, 2003
By 
Michael Casey "Michael" (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: SOHO Networking: A Guide to Installing a Small-Office/Home-Office Network (Paperback)
I looked at many networking books when trying to setup my home network. The books aimed at home networking were all too simple, but the corporate networking books were a bit over my head. SOHO Networking addressed everything I needed, including how to use a server on my home network -- most home networking books only consider peer-to-peer networking. I now have a mixed wired and wireless home network running a file server and 5 computers, plus a Tivo Series 2. This book explains everything well in an easy-to-understand style that does not oversimplify.

5.0 out of 5 stars Today's LAN & Broadband Technology with Eye to Future:, October 29, 2002
By 
John L. Giulietti (Vernon, Connecticut United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: SOHO Networking: A Guide to Installing a Small-Office/Home-Office Network (Paperback)
This text is a must for anyone who wants to understand, plan or build a SOHO [small office home office] LAN [local area netword] with Broadband Internet access. It will save the reader many times the cost of the book in obtaining the system the first time around, whether he/she builds it him(her)self or contracts a vendor to do the work. The reader will not longer be force to rely solely on salespersons.
Text explains Client/Server LANS and Peer-to-Peer LANS. Various means to interconnecting PCs, hardwired Ethernet Cat 5/Cat 6 cabling to be the connectivity of choice where one can make holes in walls.
Separate and distinct in the Broadband/DSL Connection. And the security issues resulting from 24 & 7 connection to the Internet Provider.
Finally, the text gives a flash view of where all this technology is going.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not too impressed, March 21, 2004
By 
"kermit_1" (Middlesbrough, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: SOHO Networking: A Guide to Installing a Small-Office/Home-Office Network (Paperback)
A decent enough book if you're a beginner Windows user looking to set up a LAN. Otherwise too superficial and Windows-oriented.
