Amazon Verified Purchase

Since "Windows XP networking Inside Out" is available there is no reason to buy this book any longer..too simple too little info....if you get it cheap you may want to buy, but I would always prefer the above mentioned new book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Useless, May 14, 2002

By	Dr. K. Schaeppi (Nova Lima Brasil) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is useless because it assumes that everthing just works they way it is supposed to work - but alas it never does and then the book doesn't give you any clue what to do - SIMPLY DO NOT BUY IT - the XP help is more usefull.
