Right on Target

This book is perfect for both novice and experienced user alike! It's content is "Right on Target" for small companies getting into this important area! I found it extreemly informative!

Superb introduction for intelligent laypersons

I'm a small business owner and I had pretty much given up on understanding networking until someone recommended this book. In a nutshell, if you're not a PC expert but you're smart and you need to set up a network for your office, buy this book. You probably won't do all the work yourself, nor should you, but this book helped me understand the key decisions and what to outsource.

Excellent for business owners and techies alike

Small Business Networking for Dummies is an excellent introductory book to the world of networking. In addition, it adds the aspect of the management end of the planning process, like staffing, etc. It covers both peer-to-peer networking and client/server networking, and provides beginners with all the technical terms and definitions they need to be considered knowledgeable on the subject. I also suggest pairing this up with a slightly more technical book such as Networking for Dummies, 3rd Edition. Note that this book is not as useful if you are setting up an old network with old NICs, etc., and does not go into much detail at all about UNIX networks or MAC networks. It is mainly for those using Windows 95 (98 is almost the same), Windows NT, NT Server, and Novell products.
