Networking for Dummies

Author(s) : Doug Lowe
ISBN : 076457583X
Print Date : November, 2004
Pages : 424

Networking for Dummies explains local area networks (LAN) to the rest of us in the usual entertaining way. Written with three different--but equally clueless in technical matters--audiences in mind, Lowe's book appeals to novice network users, novice network builder/administrators, and the managers who must finance the activities of the other two groups.

A large part of this book is devoted to user issues such as "Accessing a network drive from WordPerfect" and "What is a print job?" Other chapters explain the differences among the various network architectures and network operating systems. In addition, the book pays a lot of attention to troubleshooting, particularly for common problems.

For these reasons, Networking for Dummies makes a fine resource for people who are new to a networked environment. If you are a network administrator, you might want to get a copy (or three) of this book for the corporate library and refer it to all askers of brain-dead questions.
