Windows 98 Networking

Rating:
Summary: Limited detail, no LAN/Fax info
Review: Limited detail, not much more than Win98 Help files provide. for example: No info on setting up fax server under Win98 Peer to Peer. Very limited trouble shooting guide. Mostly for Windows NT.

Rating:
Summary: Good book for setting up and maximizing your network
Review: This book offers pretty comprehensive coverage of networking with the 98 OS. Especially useful information on integrating with NT and NetWare networks, but good fundamental coverage of protocols and remote access.

Worth the $$.

Summary: Easy to read - eliminates technical fluff
Review: Useful both to the novice and the network administrator, this book is a no-nonsense guide that eliminates the technical jargon that only an electrical engineer would find useful in the real world. For example, rather than bogging the reader down with lengthy explanations of the OSI Reference Model and how network protocols map to is various layers, this book focuses on how to set up such protocols on a Win98 client using step-by-step instructions. An experienced network technician who already understands the underlying technical details of such issues will find this a useful reference guide, while a novice will find that it brings him up to speed on the basics of networking and teaches him how to configure a networked Win98 computer in the real world.
