More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This book covers selection and installation of all components of a network: hardware(cards, routers, servers), cabling, and operating system software(Windows, Netware and Unix). There is an entire section devoted to wireless networking technologies(esp 802.11b and a) and the components used in a wireless network. Moulton demonstrates how to use a SOHO local area network to share high speed Internet access among all networked PCs or Hosts. This section includes coverage of how to install and configure a router. Other festures include major coverage of security: virus and worm programs, and regular and personal firewalls such as Black Ice Defender and Norton Personal Firewall. Also covered is VoIP telephony - this can help a small office save PBX costs by sending calls over the Internet. Given the number of professionals working full-time or part-time from home, a book was needed which described how to select and configure hardware and software components to support disk, printer and Internet connection sharing in both wired and wireless networks. That book is SoHo Networking.

Excellent Networking Text
6 July 2003
Format:Paperback
I looked at many networking books when trying to setup my home network. The books aimed at home networking were all too simple, but the corporate networking books were a bit over my head. SOHO Networking addressed everything I needed, including how to use a server on my home network -- most home networking books only consider peer-to-peer networking. I now have a mixed wired and wireless home network running a file server and 5 computers, plus a Tivo Series 2. This book explains everything well in an easy-to-understand style that does not oversimplify.

Today's LAN & Broadband Technology with Eye to Future:
30 Oct 2002
Format:Paperback
This text is a must for anyone who wants to understand, plan or build a SOHO [small office home office] LAN [local area netword] with Broadband Internet access. It will save the reader many times the cost of the book in obtaining the system the first time around, whether he/she builds it him(her)self or contracts a vendor to do the work. The reader will not longer be force to rely solely on salespersons.
Text explains Client/Server LANS and Peer-to-Peer LANS. Various means to interconnecting PCs, hardwired Ethernet Cat 5/Cat 6 cabling to be the connectivity of choice where one can make holes in walls.
Separate and distinct in the Broadband/DSL Connection. And the security issues resulting from 24 & 7 connection to the Internet Provider.
Finally, the text gives a flash view of where all this technology is going.

Not too impressed
21 Mar 2004
Format:Paperback
A decent enough book if you're a beginner Windows user looking to set up a LAN. Otherwise too superficial and Windows-oriented.
