Book Reviews of Networking All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies
Book Review: Should be named Networking for Windows
Summary: 3 Stars
If you run Windows this is a good beginners book on Networking. If you run OSX, Linux or Unix forget about it. There is one short and dated chapter on networking with OSX. It looks like it hasn't been updated since Panther or Jaguar. There is a little more information on networking with Linux but really this book if for users of Windows.
Which doesn't mean that there isn't good information here. Even if you're not using Windows you can still learn a lot here but most of the information networking tools and setup is so windows-centric that it lessens the usefulness of this book for those who choose to avoid or are not using the OS from Redmond.
I wish that this review could be more positive as Mr. Lowe has a lot of information but it's usefulness is severely hampered by its failures to realize that not everyone is using windows, especially in a networking situation. A proper title would be useful to avoid the purchase of a book that is so limited in scope. If you're not running Windows and even if you are you'd do better to look at the O'Reilly series of books
