Summary: Networking on a Shoestring
Comment: I run a small business and don't have the largest bank account. When I read other books and starting applying their advise, I figured it would cost thousands of dollars to get my network setup and ready for use. This book saved me a substantial amount of money, made it easy for me to build a network from scratch, and helped me create a networking environment that really works for my business. No, it doesn't contain a lot of fancy solutions that cost a lot to implement, but that's the point, isn't it? If you want a no-nonsense book that tells you how to build a network without all of the expense, then this is the book to buy.

Summary: really simplistic
Comment: Nothing on routers,switches,broadband. Although the ccopyright
is 2001, this book could have been written 10 years ago.
HOWEVER, if all you have is a dial-up modem, this book will help you.

Summary: Good down to earth advice on home networking
Comment: If you want to connect two or more pc's to share a broadband internet connection or printer, or need to set up a small office network, this is the book for you. Covers a multitude of topics, including wireless, phoneline, 10BaseT Ethernet, etc. Written for the not-too-technical reader.
Customer Rating:
Summary: An excellent book for novice & intermediate users
Comment: If you are computer literate yet lack the fundamentals on assembling a small to medium size network, then this is the book for you. It is a very readable source of information that helps you determine your needs and then presents a variety of options--from common to sometimes bizarre. There is a lot of good advice on conserving costs while optimizing performance and chapters that explore the basics of network security, software, first aid and performance issues. The text has appropriately necessary diagrams & illustrations, an excellent glossary & appendix of tips, and generous references to online sources for further information. This is probably the best beginner to intermediate level book on the subjects covered, at a reasonable price.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great book for companies that have remote workers!
Comment: Although this book is a great publication for the SOHO (Small Office Home Office) user community, it's a even greater buy for companies with any amount of remote workforce. I would go as saying that it should be recommended reading for remote workers or even giving it out as a part of the orientation package for new employees that will be working remotely. The book is easy to read and provides practical information for the novice and even the expert to polish on his/her skills.
