Good book for novices to get their home network running

The title says it all. If you follow the steps given studiously, you should have no problems planning, purchasing and setting up your own home network, provided that you stick to the basic configuration of Win98, Ethernet, and dialup through the phone line/DSL connection. Nothing "fancy" like WLAN here. If this seems incredibly simple to you, there are thicker books out there.This is one book which can be read easily from cover to cover, not least because of the large typeface. I felt very comfortable with it; there is no feeling of being "talked down to", or being overtaxed with jargon. The many pictures enhance the user-friendliness, apart from those which are rather grainy in quality or which do not convey much useful information due to the lack of creative use of graphics.

I never knew it was so easy

Super book. We used this to guide us through networking our home computers. Very easy. Worked like a charm. The pictures helped alot. We just followed the advice,planned ahead and it all fell into place. My thanks to the authors.
