Summary: a decent book, but "Networking by Example" is better
Comment: This book looked pretty good, but I wanted to point out another book, "Networking by Example" by Barry Press which is truly outstanding. This Bible book, as I remember it, contained a lot of information that was specific to Windows 98 and NT as well as protocols and OS's not around anymore. Also, in general the "bible" books tend to be cluttered with more information you don't really need. The home networking bible was helpful, but Networking by Example was much more succinct.

Summary: A good buy for multiple purposes
Comment: I bought this book with only the goal of setting up a LAN for gaming and tranferring files with friends. It turns out that I really only had to read about 15 pages to achieve this goal. Although it was odd only reading 15 pages of a 681 page book, I was very impressed with it. The book went in depth about how to share peripheral devices such as :modems,printers, and scanners. It gave advice on buying equipment, AND told the reader exactly how to set up the software, or Windows, to have a TCP/IP, NetBIOS, IPX/SPX, and other major network protocols. The book was niether for strictly novices, nor experts, but had a perfect tone and was easy to understand. Before reading this book, I knew not much about networking, but now I feel I know enough to handle ANYTHING on a network of 20 computers or less. Probably the best aspect of this book was that is wasn't necessary for the reader to read from the front cover all the way through the topic they were needing to know. The reader could easy just begin at the chapter which he/she needs to learn about.

Summary: Home Networking Bible
Comment: Only addresses Windows 95-98 and NT in any depth. Unix,Linux and Samba are completely overlooked.
