Most homes today have at least one PC for accessing the Internet, playing games, or keeping the family finances. Many homes have more than one PC, or the families are considering purchasing another computer for use by a spouse, teenager, and even younger children. If you have two or more PCs in your home, you can network them together to double and even triple the advantages you get from computing.
Home networking can be easy and fun. You can learn about the technologies while setting up your network, and after that, if you like, you can continue to explore the possibilities. Add to your network to make it more useful to you and your family. You can even extend the network to automate one room or your entire home. And it doesn’t have to be expensive, either.
If you are considering setting up your own home network, you can use Home Networking Bible, 2nd Edition, to guide you through the process. This book helps you plan and prepare for your network, purchase the appropriate equipment and software, install the networking equipment, and make it work with Windows, Macintosh, and even Linux.
From start to finish, you learn everything you need to complete the job without depending on multiple references, vendors, magazine articles, or other sources. Everything you need to know is contained in Home Networking Bible.
In addition to terminology and information, you will find helpful advice about choosing the appropriate hardware for your situation, tips on saving money, and more. Included in the text are the names of many manufacturers of home networking products and suggested retail prices for the equipment.
Whether you want to set up a simple network between two computers or you want to run e-mail over your network and attach your network to the Internet, you’ll find suggestions on how best to complete the task in Home Networking Bible.
If you run your own home-based business, or even a small business office, Home Networking Bible helps by giving small business tips to make your venture more useful, efficient, and prosperous.
