Your company just hooked you up to a network and you're wondering what the heck you're supposed to do with it? Tired of burning spreadsheets onto CDs just so you can share them with coworkers, and you're wondering what it'll take to set up a network in your organization?

Don't fret, you'll find all the answers you're looking for in "Networking for Dummies".Written for even the most network shy novice, it begins with the most basic of basics. A network is nothing more than two or more computers connected by a cable (or wireless adapter) so that they can share information and progresses through all the essentials, from cables, routers and hubs to building a wireless network.

It is a very good book on networking but what I was looking for was a cookbook approach to setting up a network. I find myself on the internet a lot, looking up answers to questions about networking which this book doesn't answer.

not what i wanted
this book is windows based. if you want to learn about a windows networking environment, then this might help you out, depending on your current level of understanding. however, if you are looking for something to give you insight into linux (or any other non windows networking environment) then i would look elsewhere. this book has zero helpful information about linux so it is useless to me, but i'm sure some people would find it interesting or helpful.
