Sinopsis

Where are you in planning and installing your network? Do you already have computers that you want to connect? Do you have one printer that everyone in the house would like to share? Is having only one Internet connection a problem? You can share computers, printers, Internet connections, and more by installing a network in your home.
 

Do you need help choosing and buying the necessary networking equipment? Perhaps the equipment is already installed, but you’re unfamiliar with networking with Windows 98 or Windows XP. You might have your network up and running but want to add an intranet and e-mail technologies. You find instructions for each of these tasks, in addition to hundreds more, in Home Networking Bible.
 

Home Networking Bible, 2nd Edition, covers new information on some of the technologies introduced in the first edition, such as wireless networking breakthroughs, Wireless-g protocol, power line networking enhancements, universal serial bus (USB) hubs and adapters, and the future of networking. In this second edition, you’ll also find greater detail on how to lay cabling, place wireless access points, configure computers (include Linux and Macs), share Internet connections, and more.
 

Chapter 1 presents an overview of the steps you need to plan your network. This chapter gives you an idea of the decisions and assessments ahead of you. You’ll need to consider what you already have, what equipment and hardware you want to share among your family or your small-business network, and what type of network benefits your situation. This chapter also presents a roadmap that helps you target the area in the book that will help you the most.
