Windows XP Home Networking

If you need to know about networking in XP this is the book. Highely reccomend. A no nonsense approach to networking.

This is an excellent beginners guide - Some smart reviewer convinced me to buy SOHO networking by Pete Moulton instead of this book to learn how to set up a home network. Don't fall for that review - - this book is excellent for the beginner, and you don't need to have a phD in computer engineering to understand the principles. I think if the review encouraging SOHO Networking instead of this book had mentioned that he is a highly trained computer person, I wouldn't have wasted the money on SOHO Networking, and would have purchased this book in the first place.If you are moderatly windows savvy, and need to get straight easy answers on how to build a home network, then this is the book for you.I'm a non-college educated blue collar worker, have no formal computer training, but do know my way around the PC and windows XP - I was able to build my home network quite quickly and easily using this book.

I own several Windows networking books but this one is the best available today.......it does not only explain networking, but also the advanced functions of MS Outlook Express, MSIE, and other programs in regards to internet and networking. Recommended for beginners since it is easy to read and understand. Not for advanced compu-freaks since it is not too technical.
