Summary: Applying work expertise at home and in the neighborhood.
Comment: I have been a networking manager since LANs came out and while I have worked on many LANs at jobs, home networking is different. This book helps a PC/LAN literate person succeed in the home arena. It provides details on phoneline networks and wireless (already put to use with family members and friends), which are not common in corporate offices. It also provides excellent details on home software considerations, such as migrationg AOL users to real computing gently, sharing computers but not mailboxes, etc.
The book is easy reading and one is tempted to jump around. DON'T miss the last chapter (Fun & Games) or the appendixes (troubleshooting Windows networking and securing against VBSs, etc.
Its a book for lots of users: any parent, anyone who friends call on to help with their computers, anyone building a house (yes wire in the wall is preferred if possible), etc.

Summary: the one and only book i'll buy on home networking
Comment: what i really like about this book is the fact that it covers the gamut from wiring, to configuration, to parental controls, with tips from a lot of third parties.
i'll confess: i know david strom and i have his phone number. so, whenever i go to install a new piece of equipment, i call strom and ask why it's not working. "can't get the windows ce thing to work with the wireless lan?" i say. "turn off encryption and try again" he says. "my isp is acting flakey, who should i switch to?" i say. "go to this url" he says. imagine my surprise when i found this book and found all of my questions and his answers in them. using this book is really going to cut down on my long distance bill!
besides you have to love a book with a section called "Threats from Microsoft Office Users".

Summary: Ok, so I'm biased...
Comment: I can't imagine why anyone would not like this book. In the back of the book is an appendix to fixing networking problems. I wrote this appendix and was so confident it would resolve every peer-to-peer networking issue, I include my e-mail address for readers to contact me directly if, after following the appendix trouble-shooting guide, they still can not resolve their problem.
I know of no other book that offers such a 'free' and helpful service. If the book didn't answer a question you were seeking, the opportunity is made available to the reader to email me directly with that question.
