1. You can teach yourself with this book. Dr. Hassul, who is an excellent instructor at CSULB, has a unique way of communicating difficult facts in a most interesting way. This book made everything click!



2. It is vest book to inductory electronics.
   This book is easy to understand and fun to read, not difficult.
   If you read introductoion book for DC/AC circuits before read this book,you will comprehend this book more and more easily.
   When I first read this book,I regretted not reading before. As a student in electronics,I have no problems in reading and understanding any other book after finished this book.It was helpful to me for having confidence for future .It will be a conerstone to understand electronics.

5 comments about This Wired Home: The Microsoft Guide to Home Networking, Third Edition.

1. The author has made so many misqueues, there is no way that they were accidental. Gigabyte Ethernet? That's one heck of an Ethernet signal! I wish I had one of those. Win98 or ME can't be servers? Even in a workgroup? Bah! Don't waste your time here folks. Move along, there is nothing to see here.



2. Don't be fooled by the one negative review here..this is a great book for home networking. The typo (from Gigabit to Gigabyte) doesn't change the wonderdful content of this book and how EASY it makes it to create a home network. This book has won praise all over the place.



3. The Microsoft Guide is a comprehensive book that provides all the information you need to set up home networks based on the Windows 9x, ME and XP Operating Systems. I'm A+ / N+ Certified technician and also a PC Repair Instructor and with this book I was able to prepare a Networking fundamentals course with excellent response from the students. Half of my first class enrolled on the advanced course and are even talking about getting N+ certification. Thanks to this book I was able to create an enjoyable learning experience for the students.
   By the way don't pay attention to the review that states lack of knowledge from the author. The reviewer is dumb enough to miss that Windows 98 and ME can't be servers because they are designed to be either workstations (clients) on a server/client enviroment, so they only access resources from the server, or work on a peer to peer enviroment so they can share resources with other PC and also access them from other PC. Also he is so ignorant to state that there's no such thing as Gigabit Ethernet. Maybe if he took the time to study the IEEE 802.3 cabling standard or even read any Network+ book he will crawl out of his ignorance.



4. This book was once very good but because it was written in 1999 and published in 2000 I would look elsewhere for home networking info. Many changes have taken place since this book was published -- wireless networking standards have changed, cabling requirements have changed, and operating systems have improved. My recommendation is SOHO NETWORKING, an excellent book published in 2003.



5. This is a good book to fine out just what a home network can do and how to do it.

   I finally got my home network running with the help from this book and an article on-line. This book did lead me step by step on how to use Netmeeting so that I could work on the kid's computer while not leaving mine.

   The author of this book spends a lot of time making things easy with all of the step-by-step instruction. So if you don't now or care about things like "cmd" or "ipconfig" you will really like this book.

2 comments about Extending Your Telephone Wiring (Fix-It Maps).

1. We bought a modular home with only one telephone number/line. We thought we could save money by running our own lines. We wanted three phone numbers (one for the PC of course!). In some rooms we wanted one line, some two, and others all three. This was no help to me at all. It told you how to add telephones but only if you had one telephone number/line. I wanted to run one physical cable containing 3 twisted pair wire around the house. I didn't know exactly how to do it since we weren't going to have three numbers in each room. Please excuse the terminology - I'm not experienced with phone lines - that's why I bought the book! (Actually, it isn't a book - I didn't realize that's what 'Fix-it Maps' meant - it's like a small road map in plastic). It told you the tools needed, how to go through walls, etc. but it didn't tell me what I wanted to know. It seemed a little out-of-date to me.



2. I ordered what I thought would help us hook up the wiring for additional lines we were having hooked up in our home. When I received this product, which isn't even a book, it's more like a pamphlet, I was extremely dissapointed. It did not contain one word of information that was helpful at all. I definately regret wasting my money and time on this product.
