What Customers Say About Home Networking For Dummies:
|
|
The title should be "Home Networking for Dummies that still use Windoz." If you are looking for a book on the general subject of "Home Networking" this is not the one, look elsewhere.
The book helped me to setup my printers. I have not yet every thing that are in the book but Iam using bit by bit as my need arises. I,just, do not want to do everything all at a time.
nice manual for those of us who don't have time to read the whole book.
Everything from cables to equipment, this book will walk you through the process of getting your home network set up.
This new fourth edition of Ms. Chapter 9 is titles Printing Across the Network. There's a little bit here and there on sharing an internet connection, but Ms. This is a basic introductory book that begins with what a network is and why you might need one. You can explain about the need for a high speed modem, a router/switch, etc. It starts with simple things like cables and NICs and goes on from there to start talking about the software, using Windows XP and Vista. Ivens best selling book has been expanded to cover the new Windows Vista operating system which has major changes and is up to date on Windows XP Service Pack 2 which again made changes in areas like security that could effect how your network runs. Chapter 11 is Using Files from Other Computers.
(No Linux discussion). It seems to me that there are three main reasons for having a home network: sharing printers, sharing files, and sharing a high speed internet connection. Ivens, should you read this, I suggest that in your Fifth edition you put in a special chapter on connecting to DSL/Cable. Yes, I know, the material for this is basically there, but a single chapter tieing it all together would be a help.
