More About the Author
Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
This book helps you figure out whether you need a LAN at all--the author isn't shy about recommending simpler solutions such as printer switches--and then helps you get everything hooked up. Mainly, Lowe describes LANs in an accurate and comprehensive, though somewhat generic, way.
Once it has been determined that you need a network operating system, Lowe describes the characteristics of several good ones (including NetWare 4.2, NetWare 5, Windows NT 4, and LANtastic). He also explains network architectures, cabling systems and security issues. New to this edition is information on transforming your LAN into an intranet by adapting internal protocols to Internet standards. There is lots of solid information on troubleshooting and optimising performance too.
Much of the valuable information in Networking for Dummies comes in the form of scenarios. Lowe uses short situations and explains, specifically, what networking hardware and software will be required or beneficial. Find a story that matches your situation and you'll be in business. --David Wall --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

3. Networking Essentials Plus 3rd edition, by Microsoft Press
4. Networking+ Study Guide, by David Groth
The book has no clear structure .... it's all over the place (is this supposed to be the "fun" part of the Dummies books ?)
The book is crammed full of material that is "peripheral" at best (if i wanted a book on "e-mail" I would have bought one). I get the sense that someone sits down with a word processor, writes a few pages about networking and then does a cut-and-paste job from other Dummies computer books to fill pages.
By "Dummies" do they mean "people who wouldn't understand a clear explaination of something so we better leave it unclear or hanging" ?
All I wanted was a book that would give me a clear understanding of networking basics. For example setting up a home network ... the book tells you little about how to configure TCP/IP settings in Win 9x ... how can you set up a TCP/IP home network without knowing this ????
If your new to networking and want to know the basics, dont buy this book. I'm looking for another.
