Product Description

Just as small enterprises - businesses, voluntary organisations etc - acquired their first PC’s s a decade or more ago, they are now implementing small networks, mainly to share resources such as ADSL (broadband) Internet connections. Larger companies have the resources to employ full time technical support staff or can afford to contract their network services to support companies. However, the truly small enterprise needs to be able to install and maintain a PC network and protect their business by protecting their data. This book is the perfect guide to installing and maintaining networks, disaster recovery, installing applications, client/server systems and security - all of the skills a small enterprise needs. With this book, which is fully updated to cover Windows Vista as well as XP, the small business, charity, school or any other small enterprise can manage their network and reduce technician's costs.

Customer Reviews

Wrong title - wrong publisher
This is a good book, well worth buying BUT

The entry on this site is for the US version of the book.

Amazon UK have been told of this several times over several weeks but have failed to correct the misleading information.

If you want a copy of the uK version you can buy it from Waterstones - either from their site or one of their stores.

A book that tells you what you need to know
If you work in a small business and you want to know how to go about setting up a PC network then this book tells you what you need to know. It starts from the basics - how to get 2 PCs to talk to each other - then goes on to show you how to do the rest. There are sections on sharing resources, on maintenance and security. And it doesn't avoid the real practicalities of doing it all - there's even a section on how to prepare and pull your own network cables - and handy tips like using a wire coat hanger to fish for cable in a cavity wall. Good value for money and written by somebody who knows.
