This book covers selection and installation of all components of a network:

hardware(cards, routers, servers), cabling, and operating system

software(Windows, Netware and Unix)

There is an entire section devoted to wireless networking technologies(esp

802.11b and a) and the components used in a wireless network. Moulton

demonstrates how to use a SOHO local area network to share high speed

Internet access among all networked PCs or Hosts. This section includes

coverage of how to install and configure a router. Other festures include major

coverage of security: virus and worm programs, and regular and personal

firewalls such as Black Ice Defender and Norton Personal Firewall. Also

covered is VoIP telephony — this can help a small office save PBX costs by

sending calls over the Internet.

Given the number of professionals working full-time or part-time from home,

a book was needed which described how to select and configure hardware and

software components to support disk, printer and Internet connection sharing

in both wired and wireless networks. That book is SoHo Networking.

A guide to installing a secure wired or wireless network in a home office or small office environment.

° Perfect for professionals working from home or small business owners looking to build a network.

° Includes coverage of how to install and configure a router and how to use a SoHo LAN.

° Entire section devoted to wireless technologies.
