Good reference book for your collection...

Although I had already built a home network, I wish I had this book first. It would've saved me a lot of "difficult-learned" mistakes. Now that my job has "shifted" to include networking, remote access, etc. - decided I needed a good reference book on the subject. Since I chose to invest in this of my own accord, I didn't want to spring for the "latest and greatest" networking book. This filled my needs nicely at a very good price, as it is not "the latest". Though I am not comparing it here to other networking books, to me it was worth every penny I spent. I like to have a few "real" print reference books like this around when "the network is down" and trying to use 4G on a 4" LCD display of a cell phone for help doesn't cut it <grin>.

For those that does not have a clue about a computer network or are not 100% sure about your skills, that's the book. It goes Straight to the point. You don't have to read it cover to cover, instead you may pick a theme and learn it. It is usefull for Engineers, IT professionals, Doctors, teenagers, ... anyone how wants to learn the basics, which is by the way, most of the work needed quite often.

I've only dipped into it for the information that I've needed, and it seems pretty thorough even if it is American biased. For anyone wanting to set up a network at home it will do the job.
