5.0 out of 5 stars Home Networking for Dummies, 29 Dec 2008
I'm not a computer buff, seeing PCs as nothing more than a modern extension of paper, pencil, calculator and library, but I found this very clearly written and extremely easy to follow, allowing me to set up a home network within an evening, including a desktop, two laptops with wireless access and a shared printer running a mixture of Win XP and Vista. Thoroughly recommended.
