okay but errors [Posted on 2008-04-07]
Sloppy editing.
Started reading this book today. Now at page 117 which is about 1/3 of the book and already found six (6) very obvious errors. Pretty pathetic for a book in its 8th edition.

As an example, on page 117, subnet mask is 255.255.240.0 yet the diagram shows it as all (1s)
--> 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111 when it should be
--> 11111111 11111111 11110000 00000000

If you hate reading on the internet.... [Posted on 2008-07-20]
If you hate reading on the internet its an OK book....for basics....

Its outdated and all the information in the book is available on the internet if you are good with google.

Setting up a small home or business network.......buy a used copy to use as a reference for the most basic information....

I gave it three stars.....its got older info and not much detail....but it is good basic information....and if you buy a good used copy like I did ......its worth having on the bookshelf as a reference.

Good basic introduction to networking [Posted on 2008-08-05]
I just purchased the book, so the technology was outdated, but the basic theory was valid, and I was looking for general knowledge of the process. It served that purpose quite well.
