The beauty of a home network is that it can make life so easy--what could be better
than sharing an Internet connection so that everyone can be online at the same
time? With home networking you can move files from one computer to another, share
resources, print to a single printer or multiple printers from any computer in
the house, and IM the kids when they're holed up in their rooms. And the downside?
Anyone who's ever had to troubleshoot a network glitch doesn't need to ask that
question. The simple words, "Why can't I print? Why can't I get to the Internet?
Why does my computer say 'Access Denied' today, when it worked fine yesterday?"
are enough to send the home network administrator running for cover. And the concept
of "network security" can keep the soundest sleeper tossing and turning
all night.
Currently, more than 8 million homes in the US have installed a network of
some kind, and within five years, that number is expected to jump to 37 million.
This speaks to the availability of easy-to-install home networking products.
Unfortunately, there's also a glut of potential headaches that can occur after
installation (and during, sometimes) with no warning label on the box saying,
"This product sure to cause annoyances."
But help is here. Home Networking Annoyances will ease the headaches and annoyances
of anyone who runs a home network. This book tackles all the common annoyances
associated with running your network--whether it's wired or wireless, Mac or
PC, or a combination thereof. Its friendly, off-the-cuff approach will put you
in a position of power over those home networking glitches, including file sharing,
printing, cabling, security, and much more. You'll find dozens of on-target
tips, workarounds, and fixes that will help you improve your home networking
experience in every way possible.
Whether you're a mainstream business user or a home user with newly installed
network hardware, you've probably had your patience tested by frustrating network
maintenance issues. Take a stand against annoyances now: just as the bestselling
PC Annoyances brought peace and happiness to PC users everywhere, Home Networking
Annoyances is your ticket to serenity.
