From the Back Cover

Home networking is easy when you ask an expert

For most of us, it′s not about the technology—it′s about what we can do with it. A home network lets you share Internet connections, printers, and files between two or more computers. Go wireless, and you can read your e–mail, surf the Web, or download new music from anywhere in or around your home. And with the improvements and added security features in Service Pack 2, Windows XP home networking is safer and more fun than ever before. Paul Thurrott shows you just how it′s done, in language that makes sense.

  • Understand networking software, learn what hardware you need, and configure a modem
  • Explore broadband options and their security issues
  • Use Windows XP′s network and wireless network setup wizards
  • Set up security to protect shared files and user accounts
  • Participate in multiplayer games
  • Integrate Bluetooth devices and add Mac OS® X or Linux machines to your network
  • Deal with spam, pop–ups, malicious add–ons, and other malware
  • Manage instant communication with Windows® Messenger and MSN® Messenger
  • Synchronize your Palm OS® device or Pocket PC with your desktop

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't expect to be able to set up a network, 4 Aug 2003
By F. Rietz (Wellesbourne, Warwickshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Windows XP Home Networking (Paperback)
I bought this book to provide a full account of how to set up a simple peer to peer network. In the 388 pages the author did not tell me how to configure a simple network. The closest we get is on page 78 when he tells us that there is a Network Setup Wizard but the "Network Setup Wizard is largely unreliable and I don't cover it in this book".He refers to a Microsoft update on home networking components that will be on his website. I explored this and found nothing useful.
The rest of the book doesn't provide expicit guidance in how to set up a network despite the intended level being basic to intermediate.

This book does chat away on many XP topics most with some relation to aspects of using networks. However I got next to no help, and finally found some guidance on the internet.
