Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
In recent years, Windows has adapted to the networked workplace. All versions of the Microsoft operating system can connect to other computers, both locally and remotely. Teach Yourself Windows Networking in 24 Hours tells you what you need to know to make Windows machines work in concert, plus it includes additional information.
The authors begin with the most basic network of all: the direct cable connection. From there, they move on through the process of configuring peer-to-peer and client/server networks for all sorts of resource-sharing purposes. Then they show--with lots of step-by-step procedures and screen shots--how to set up long-distance connections with dial-up networking. There's also a fine introduction to network troubleshooting. Throughout, the authors pay adequate attention to both Windows 98 and Windows NT. They distinguish their work with excellent NetWare coverage--a valuable inclusion, since so many existing networks are based on Novell technology.
However, several segments of this book aren't specific to Windows networking at all. Rather, they provide background information about networking technologies that, while worth knowing, isn't part of the essential how-to information many buyers of this book are likely to want. However, this extra information makes this book a fine study aid for the Microsoft Networking Essentials certification exam (70-058). In fact, it's better than many books specifically published for that purpose. --David Wall

Needs More,
By Richard Alan Eugea (Waterloo, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Windows Networking in 24 Hours (Paperback)
From what i have read of this book it is very good, networking topics are very clear and in depth. Only problems i see with this book is that it talks about 10Mbps networks, but the standard is more and more going to 100Mbps, and soon to be 1000Mbps. And the second problem is that it doesn't cover Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, which like NT Server it is not exactly the same, OS. But all in all this a very good book very informative. I recommended it to anyone trying to get into networking, and even if you know networking, like my self this book is very good, but if you do not know NT Server this is the book to start with. Very Good Book in the end

A good introduction to networking,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sams Teach Yourself Windows Networking in 24 Hours (Paperback)
This is a good introduction to networking for someone with little or no knowledge. It is easy to read and understand. It is written from the point of view of building a business-related network.
