Excellent Networking Text,

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.

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.

Not too impressed,
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.
