4.0 out of 5 starsHandy guide for the netork novice.
By Charles Alford on July 12, 2011
Format: Paperback
I believe this is intended for the novice and should help them setup a network for a variety of devices. There are loads of screen shots that should make the process easier. Chapters 10, 11, and 12 are helpful because the average home user will need a heterogeneous network. Make sure you also read chapter 13 on network security. No need to read the entire book. Just pick and choose what you need and set it aside until you decide to further enhance your network.

4.0 out of 5 starsNot really for novices or the faint of heart
By Thomas K. Eckle on July 18, 2011
Format: Paperback
This book is well written and documented, serving well as compendium of useful networking concepts and instructions, clearly illustrated and explained Similar to most technical books, I cannot imagine someone reading the book cover to cover, however skipping around among topics of need or interest appears to be the most valid way to use this book. Furtherrmore, I suspect the average computer user is challenged by the concepts of networking, though those willing to spend some time and effort could increase their competency and make themselves more proficient at networking their personal computing environment using the material contained in this book. In summary this book challenges the novice, may enlighten the proficient, and may even have some gems for the expert. I recommend this book to those who are looking to take the next step in the world of networking and have the will to learn.

5.0 out of 5 starsVery Practical Book
By War Eagle on March 16, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I am reasonably technically knowledgeable. I know how to set up a router, a bridge, mess around with with IP addresses and so on. There were two computers one Windows 7, the other Windows XP, on which I was trying to set up file sharing. IP addresses on the network were fine, the computers could ping each other, and I could not get file sharing to work. It was one of those "there is something obvious you are not doing, it is staring you in the face, and you are not seeing it" situations. I searched through my Windows references, went online, and found nothing, spending hours and hours. Finally, it occurred to me to open this book, which I had sitting around and ignoring because it was "too simple." I turned to Chapter 10, "Sharing Between Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 Computers." I went step-by-step. If it told me to right click on something, I right clicked. If it told me to blow my nose, I blew my nose. FINALLY, I came to the missing steps. Things worked! I think I love this book.

4.0 out of 5 starsAsk Felgall - Book Review
By Stephen Chapman on December 22, 2011
Format: Paperback
For anyone who has more than one computer or other device that can be networked, this book will provide a lot of what you need to know to get your home network set up to work as efficiently and securely as possible. While the main emphasis of the book is on Windows 7, all of the other operating systems that your devices might reasonably expected to use are also covered including how to get all of the different operating systems to work together on the one network.

The book covers all of the relevant topics in a logical order starting with how to configure your router, setting up user accounts, creating the network, customising sharing options, working with devices, streaming media, different operating systems, securing the network and finishing with troubleshooting.

If you just read through the book from cover to cover, some of the information may appear repetitive because each section is designed to stand alone. Where different operating systems have similar options for performing the same task those options get mentioned separately under each operating system. For some parts of the setup such as configuring the router there are too many different alternatives for the book to include them all.In these instances the book includes the instructions for a couple of different alternatives which together with the information supplied with the device should provide you with sufficient information to figure out how to deal with your specific device.

The book also covers a large number of Windows 7 only features which illustrates just how much Microsoft has done with that operating system to make it far easier to use as the basis for a modern home computer network. An entire chapter is also dedicated to media streaming which is possibly one of the most popular new uses for computer networks. The one aspect of streaming not covered is how to stream through onto a television.

By Lewis Fulkerson on December 9, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I've been working on computers for 44 years (since 1968) and this is the ONLY book on networking that has made any sense and been of any value to me. What a steal at any price!

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat Reference book
By Amazon Customer on December 17, 2012
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Both for the beginner and us who have forgotten some of those little tricks we used to use. Very good reference source. Currently having trouble with Windows 7 computers on a home network working together, but it's coming.

Network Your Computers & Devices Step by Step Publisher: Microsoft Press
"I have read Step By Step books for years and love them and was
delighted to find this one just when I needed it. I was able to get my small home network up and running just fine with the knowledge
from this book. It is a great book and I loved it being a self taught
computer geek."

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent book for non-techies
By GlennB on June 26, 2012
Format: Paperback
This book starts at the beginning and walks the user through the concepts, terminology, and procedures related to setting up a network. It is straight-forward and assumes little or no prior knowledge of the subject.

I am a software developer who knows enough about hardware and networking to deal with minor issues on my own. As a person who regularly receives and enjoys "7 Tutorials" e-mails, I was pleased to see that this book took the same approach as the tutorials do. Anyone wanting to learn about networking without feeling overwhelmed will benefit from this approach to the subject.

Once the reader sets up a network with the assistance of this book, there are additional chapters that provide detailed information about other important, related issues, including:
1. security
2. Windows 7 libraries
3. linking to non-"Windows 7" pc's and non-Windows pc's
4. troubleshooting
